The energy of activation of a first order reaction is `104.5" kJ mole"^(–1)` and pre-exponential factor (A) is `5 xx 10^(–13)" sec"^(–1)`. At what temperature, will the reaction have a half life of 1 minute ?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given data about the first-order reaction, including the activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential factor (A), to find the temperature at which the half-life (t₁/₂) is 1 minute.

### Step 1: Convert the half-life from minutes to seconds
The half-life is given as 1 minute. We need to convert this into seconds because the pre-exponential factor (A) is given in seconds.

\[ t_{1/2} = 1 \text{ minute} = 60 \text{ seconds} \]
