Problem

For a reaction with activation energy Ea=75 kJ mol−1E_a = 75\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}, the fraction of molecules with kinetic energy equal to or greater than EaE_a is proportional to e−Ea/(RT)e^{-E_a/(RT)}, where R=8.314 J mol−1K−1R = 8.314\,\text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}. If this fraction is 0.040 at 510 K, determine the temperature (in K) at which the fraction will be 0.080. Report your answer to the nearest kelvin.
