It has been found that for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by $9 \, K$,the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at $300 \, K$,the value of activation energy is found to be $...... \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. [nearest integer]
(Given $\ln 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}, \log 2 = 0.30$ )

The rate constant of a reaction at temperature $200 \ K$ is $10$ times less than the rate constant at $400 \ K.$ What is the activation energy $({E_a})$ of the reaction ($R = $ gas constant) (in $R$)?

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 ................ $kJ/mol$.

$A$ reaction has an activation energy of $209 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. The rate increases $10$-fold when the temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $X^{\circ} C$. The temperature $X$ is closest to
[Gas constant,$R = 8.314 \, J \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ ]
