Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of calculating the activation energy (Ea) given that the rate of a chemical reaction doubles with a temperature increase of 10 K from 298 K, we can use the Arrhenius equation. Here’s a step-by-step solution:
### Step 1: Identify the given values
- Initial temperature (T1) = 298 K
- Final temperature (T2) = 298 K + 10 K = 308 K
- Rate constant at T1 (k1) = k
- Rate constant at T2 (k2) = 2k (since the rate doubles)
