What is the fraction of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy, E_(a) ? What is this quantity called ?

Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulted that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(E_(a)//RT) . Thuis method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied. If x is the fraction of molecules having energy greater than E_(a) it will be given by :

The activation energy for the reaction - H_(2)O_(2)toH_(2)O+(1)/(2)O_(2) is 18 K cal//mol at 300 K. calculate the fraction of molecules of reactonts having energy equal to or greater than activation energy ? Anti log (-13.02)=9.36xx10^(-14)

In general, it is observed that the rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every 10^(@) rise in temperature. If the generalisation holds for a reaction in the temperature range 295 K to 305 K, what would be the value of activation energy for the reaction?
