Title: Activation Energy Question
Post by: hanuma94 on January 07, 2012, 05:11:07 PM
The activation energy of a certain reaction is 65.7 kJ/mol. How many times faster will the reaction occur at 50 degrees Celsius than at 0 degrees Celsius? State the assumptions you need to make in order to perform this calculation.

I do not understand which equation to use for this question, if there is an equation, or how to start working on this problem. Thank you!

use the equation and calculate  k2/k1 ratio .This ratio will give the ratio of the speed of the reactions also.
