At 320 K, 6.0 % of the molecules in a gas sample possess kinetic energy greater than 80 kJ mol⁻¹. When the temperature is raised to 370 K, 14.0 % of the molecules exceed the same energy. Calculate the factor by which the fraction of high-energy molecules increases as the temperature rises from 320 K to 370 K.
