For two reactions (i) P rarr Product and (ii) Q rarr Product, the order of reaction (i) is 1 while that of reaction (ii) is 2 . At 347 K , the energy of activation of reaction (i) is 55 kJ mol^(-1) but whenever this reaction is carried out in the presence of catalyst at the same temperature, the energy of activation is 53 kJ mol^(-1) . Moreover, for reaction (ii), when the temperature is increased form 298 K to 308 K , the rate of reaction increases as many times as for reaction (i) in the presnece of catalyst. Calculate the rate constant of reaction (ii) at 318 K , if the pre-exponential factor for reaction (ii) is 3.56 xx 10^(9) mol^(-1) L s^(-1) . Note: Arrhenius equation does not depend on the order of reaction.
