For the reaction,$aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD$,the plot of $\log k$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$ is given below. The temperature at which the rate constant of the reaction is $10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$ is ............... $K$. (Rounded-off to the nearest integer) [Given: The rate constant of the reaction is $10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$ at $500 \ K$.]

For the reaction,following data is given,
$A \rightarrow B$; $K_1 = 10^{15} \exp \left( \frac{-2000}{T} \right)$
$C \rightarrow D$; $K_2 = 10^{14} \exp \left( \frac{-1000}{T} \right)$
The temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is ........... $K$ $(exp. = e)$

The rate constant of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation: $\log K = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$. If a plot of $\log K$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line with a slope of $-5632$,then the activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
