Problem
At 298 K, the uncatalyzed pathway for a reaction has an activation energy of 85 kJ·mol⁻¹, while a catalyst lowers it to 60 kJ·mol⁻¹. Assuming the pre-exponential factor remains the same, determine the ratio of the rate constant for the catalyzed pathway to that of the uncatalyzed pathway. Provide your answer to two significant figures.
