Using Arrhenius Equation,
Use the equation
ln(k1/k2)=-Ea/R(1/T1-1/T2)
To find the new temperature if the rate constant at that temperature is 15M-1s-1 while at temperature 389K the rate constant is 7M-1s1,
Substitute the values in the equation to find the temperature,

There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. These factors include temperature, activation energy, steric factors (orientation), and also collision frequency, which changes with concentration and phase. All the factors that affect reaction rate can be summarized in an equation called the Arrhenius equation: k=Ae−Ea/RT, where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor, Ea is the activation energy, R=8.314 J mol−1 K−1 is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
