Write the Arrhenius equation to calculate the activation energy $(E_a)$ at two different temperatures.
(N/A) The Arrhenius equation at two different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ with rate constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ is given by:
$\ln\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\right) = \frac{E_a}{R} \left[\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}\right]$
where:
$E_a$ = Activation energy
$R$ = Universal gas constant
$k_1, k_2$ = Rate constants at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively.
$\ln\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\right) = \frac{E_a}{R} \left[\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}\right]$
where:
$E_a$ = Activation energy
$R$ = Universal gas constant
$k_1, k_2$ = Rate constants at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively.

For reaction $A \to B$,the rate constant $k_1 = A_1 e^{-E_{a_1} / (RT)}$ and for the reaction $X \to Y$ the rate constant $k_2 = A_2 e^{-E_{a_2} / (RT)}$. If $A_1 = 10^8$,$A_2 = 10^{10}$ and $E_{a_1} = 600 \ cal/mol$,$E_{a_2} = 1800 \ cal/mol$,then the temperature at which $k_1 = k_2$ is (Given : $R = 2 \ cal/K \cdot mol$)
