The rates of many reactions approximately double for each 10°C rise in temperature. Assuming a starting temperature of 22°C, what would the activation energy be, in kJ mol$^{-1}$, if the rate of a reaction were to be twice as large at 32°C?

The rates of many reactions approximately double for each $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ rise in temperature. Assuming a starting temperature of $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, what would the activation energy be, in $\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$, if the rate of a reaction were to be twice as large at $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
The rate constants of some reactions double with every 10 degree rise in temperature. Assume that a reaction takes place at 330 K and 340 K. What must the activation energy be for the rate constant to double as described? kJ/mol

What would be the activation energy of a reaction if its rate constant at 35°C was double the value of its rate constant at 25°C? (1) 63.8 kJ/mol (2) 75.1 kJ/mol (3) 8.12 kJ/mol (4) 52.9 kJ/mol (5) 68.3 J/mol
