A. 50 kJ/mol
B. 80 kJ/mol
C. 40 kJ/mol
D. 25 kJ/mol
Answer: 50 kJ/mol
What is the activation energy of a reaction if the rate constant doubles when the temperature is increased from 290 K to 300 K?
Additional Information: Using the Arrhenius equation, the activation energy can be determined from the temperature dependence of the rate constant.
