Answer #1

We can use the following formula

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R x (1/T1 - 1/T2)

Ea is the activation energy of the reaction in J/mol = 66000 J/mol
R is the ideal gas constant = 8.3145 J/K·mol
T1 and T2 are temperatures in Kelvin  

T1 = 273 K And T2 = 273 + 74 = 347 K
k1 and k2 are rate constants of reaction at T1 and T2

K1 = 2.4 x 10-5 K2 = ?

ln (K2 / 2.4 x 10-5) =    66000 J/mol / 8.3145 J/K·mol [1/273 - 1/347]

ln K2 - ln 2.4 x 10-5 = 6.2

ln K2 = -4.4396

Log K2 = 1.9277

K2 = 1.18 x 10-2 M-1 s-1

Hence rate constant of the reaction at 740C is 1.18 x 10-2 M-1 s-1
