The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy $E_a = 52.0 \text{ kJ/mol}$. If the rate constant of this reaction is $1.0 \text{ M}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}$ at $-1.0 \text{ °C}$, what will the rate constant be at $-63.0 \text{ °C}$? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Step 1
The Arrhenius equation is given by: k = A * exp(-Ea/RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Show more…

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy E_a = 33.0 kJ/mol. If the rate constant of this reaction is 4.5 * 10^4 M^-1 s^-1 at 123.0 °C, what will the rate constant be at 52.0 °C? Round your answer to 2 significant digits. k = M^-1 * s^-1

The rate constant k for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures: temperature | k 377.0 °C | 7.2 x 10^10 300.0 °C | 5.2 x 10^10 Assuming the rate constant obeys the Arrhenius equation, calculate the activation energy Ea for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
