Question 1

Given that the rate constant for a particular reaction is measured at 400 K and found to be 0.0025 s^-1, while at 500 K it is 0.067 s^-1, calculate the activation energy.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break the problem into smaller parts and ensure units are consistent.

Question 2

Explain how using a catalyst in a reaction alters the Arrhenius parameters described in the equation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how energy barriers change with and without catalysis.
