Without a catalyst, the activation energy of a reaction is 162.9 kJ/mol. With a catalyst, the activation energy is 92.8 kJ/mol. Assuming the frequency factor (A) and the initial concentrations of all reactants are the same for each reaction, how many times faster is the initial rate of the catalyzed reaction at 37.4°C? IMPORTANT: When entering your answer: • Enter whole numbers only (no spaces, letters, or other characters) • Enter a number for the coefficient rounded to the units column (regardless of significant figures) • Enter a number for the power of 10 (the exponent only)
