Question

Part A)

The activation energy of a certain reaction is 30.5 kJ/molkJ/mol . At 20 ∘C∘C, the rate constant is 0.0130 s−10.0130 s−1. At what temperature would this reaction go twice as fast?
Express your answer numerically in degrees Celsius
 
Part B) 
Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0130 s−10.0130 s−1 at an initial temperature of 20 ∘C∘C, what would the rate constant be at a temperature of 100 ∘C∘C?
Express your answer numerically in inverse seconds.
