Which scientist explained that all the species taking part in a reaction do not possess the same kinetic energy?

For a reaction,activation energy $E_a = 0$ and rate constant $K = 3.2 \times 10^6 \ s^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$. What is the value of the rate constant at $300 \ K$?

For the reaction,$A \rightleftharpoons B$,$E_a = 50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta H = -20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. When a catalyst is added,$E_a$ decreases by $10 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. What is the $E_a$ for the backward reaction in the presence of the catalyst?

The equilibrium constant at $27\,^{\circ}C$ and $127\,^{\circ}C$ is $30$ and $40$ respectively. What will be the ratio of activation energy $(E_{a})_{f} / (E_{a})_{b}$?

For a first order reaction $A \rightarrow P$,the temperature $(T)$ dependent rate constant $(k)$ was found to follow the equation $\log k = -(2000) \frac{1}{T} + 6.0$. The pre-exponential factor $A$ and the activation energy $E_{a}$,respectively,are

Explain the effect of an increase in temperature on the rate of reaction and the rate constant.
