The rate constant for the decomposition of a hydrocarbon is given as $K = (4.5 \times 10^{11} \ s^{-1}) e^{-(28000 \ K) / T}$. The activation energy of the reaction (in $J/mol$) is:

For a chemical reaction,the rate of reaction doubles when the temperature increases by $10\,^oC$. If the temperature is increased from $10\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$,the rate of reaction will increase by a factor of .....

$A$ catalyst:

$A$ chemical reaction was carried out at $300 \, K$ and $280 \, K$. The rate constants were found to be $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The energy of activation is $1.157 \times 10^4 \, cal \, mol^{-1}$ and $R = 1.987 \, cal \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$. Then:

The activation energy of a certain reaction is $87 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. When the temperature is decreased from $37^{\circ} C$ to $15^{\circ} C$,what is the ratio of the rate constant at $37^{\circ} C$ to that at $15^{\circ} C$ for this reaction (in $/ 1$)?
