(a) The rule of thumb that the rate of reaction doubles for a 10 °C increase in temperature occurs only at a specific temperature for a given activation energy. Develop a relationship between the temperature and activation energy for which the rule of thumb holds. Neglect any variation of concentration with temperature,

(b) Determine the activation energy and frequency factor from the following data:

(c) Write a paragraph explaining activation energy, E, and how it affects the chemical reaction rate. Refer to Section 3.3 and especially the Professional Reference Shelf sections R3.1, R3.2, and R3.3 if necessary.
