According to the collision theory of chemical reactions:

In a first order reaction at $27\,^oC$ and $47\,^oC$,$50\%$ of the reaction is complete in $30\,\min$ and $10\,\min$ respectively. Calculate the energy of activation $(E_a)$.

Reactant $(A)$ produces two products. If $Ea_2 = 2 Ea_1$,then $K_1$ and $K_2$ are related as:
$A \xrightarrow{K_1} B$,activation energy: $Ea_1$
$A \xrightarrow{K_2} C$,activation energy: $Ea_2$

Write the Arrhenius equation to calculate the activation energy $(E_a)$ at two different temperatures.

When the temperature of a reaction is increased from $300 \ K$ to $310 \ K$,the rate of the reaction increases by $2.5$ times. If the rate constant of the reaction at $300 \ K$ is $K$,what will be the rate constant at $310 \ K$?
