The activation energy of a non–catalysed...

The activation energy of a non–catalysed reaction at `37^@C` is 200 kcal/mol and the activation energy of the same reaction when catalysed decreases to only 60.0 kcal/mol. Calculate the ratio of rate constants of the two reactions.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the ratio of the rate constants of a non-catalyzed reaction to that of the same reaction when catalyzed, using the given activation energies and the Arrhenius equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Convert the temperature to Kelvin.** - The temperature given is \(37^\circ C\). - To convert to Kelvin, use the formula: \[ ...
