Define the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction

Reference no: EM13717660

Problem- If the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 95 kJ/mol. The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 55 kJ/mol.

Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by what factor will the catalyst increase the rate of the reaction at the following temperatures?

(a) 33°C

(b) 135°C

Please express all work. Thank you in advance
