The activation energy of a first order r...

The activation energy of a first order reaction at 300 K is 60 kJ `mol^-1`. In the Presence of a Catalyst, the activation energy gets lowered to 50 kJ `mol^-1` at 300 K. How many times the reaction rate changes in the Presence of a catalyst at the same temperature ?

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.
