For two first order reactions having same concentration of

A

and

B

t=0

, use the given data to calculate the temperature at which both occurs with same rate.

\text{Reaction I} \quad A \longrightarrow Z; \quad K_1 = 10^{16} e^{-\left(\frac{3000}{T}\right)}

\text{Reaction II} \quad B \longrightarrow Y; \quad K_2 = 10^{15} e^{-\left(\frac{2000}{T}\right)}
