A reaction has an activation energy of 363 kJ at 25°C. If the rate constant has to increase ten-fold, what should the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction be? (See Question 73 for assumptions and a hint.)

Reference Question 73:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction from 215 kJ to 206 kJ. By what factor would you expect the reaction-rate constant to increase at 25°C? Assume that the frequency factors (A) are the same for both reactions. (Hint: Use the formula ln k = ln A – Ea/RT.)
