  • A
    $A \to B$
  • B
    $B \to C$
  • C
    $C \to D$
  • D

For a first-order reaction,the time taken to complete $10\%$ at $298\, K$ is equal to the time taken to complete $25\%$ at $308\, K$. The activation energy of the reaction is ................ $kJ/mol$.

$A \rightarrow B$ (first reaction)
$C \rightarrow D$ (second reaction)
Consider the above two first-order reactions. The rate constant for the first reaction at $500 \ K$ is double of the same at $300 \ K$. At $500 \ K, 50 \%$ of the reaction becomes complete in $2 \ hours$. The activation energy of the second reaction is half of that of the first reaction. If the rate constant at $500 \ K$ of the second reaction is double the rate constant of the first reaction at the same temperature, then the rate constant for the second reaction at $300 \ K$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-1} \ hour^{-1}$ (nearest integer).
