### Determining Activation Energy via Arrhenius Equation#### Problem Statement:The rate constant \( k \) for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:\[\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline\text{temperature} & k \\\hline162.0 \,^{\circ}\text{C} & 3.0 \times 10^{10} \\\hline288.0 \,^{\circ}\text{C} & 9.1 \times 10^{11} \\\hline\end{array}\]#### Objective:Assuming the rate constant obeys the Arrhenius equation, calculate the activation energy \( E_{\text{a}} \) for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.#### Solution:Using the Arrhenius equation, we can determine the activation energy:\[E_{\text{a}} = \boxed{ \quad }\frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}}\]Please note, to solve this problem practically, follow these steps:1. Convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15.2. Use the Arrhenius equation in its logarithmic form: \[ \ln \left( \frac{k_2}{k_1} \right) = \frac{E_{\text{a}}}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2} \right) \]3. Solve for \( E_{\text{a}} \), where \( R \) is the gas constant.#### Note:Ensure to input values correctly for precise computation.
