Problem
At 298 K, the uncatalyzed reaction between A and B has an activation energy of 75 kJ mol⁻¹. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is reduced to 40 kJ mol⁻¹. Assuming the pre-exponential factor remains the same, calculate the ratio of the catalyzed rate constant to the uncatalyzed rate constant at 298 K. (Gas constant R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)
