Explain the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction

Reference no: EM13332507

The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 88kj/mol . The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 60kJ/mol . a. Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by what factor will the catalyst increase the rate of the reaction at 28C? b. Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by what factor will the catalyst increase the rate of the reaction at 115C?
