$A$ chemical reaction was carried out at $300 \, K$ and $280 \, K$. The rate constants were found to be $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The energy of activation is $1.157 \times 10^4 \, cal \, mol^{-1}$ and $R = 1.987 \, cal \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$. Then:

  • A
    $K_2 \approx 0.25 K_1$
  • B
    $K_2 \approx 0.5 K_1$
  • C
    $K_2 \approx 4 K_1$
  • D
    $K_2 \approx 2 K_1$
