Problem

In the Arrhenius equation for a certain reaction, the values of

A

and

E_a

(energy of activation) are

4 \times 10^{13} \text{ sec}^{-1}

and

98.6 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}

respectively. If the reaction is of first order, at what temperature will its half-life period be 10 minute? (IIT 1990)
