Problem

The rate constant for an elementary reaction is 1.2×10−3 s−11.2 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{s}^{-1} at 298 K. The activation energy for the reaction is 75 kJ mol−175\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}. Assuming the frequency factor remains constant, determine the rate constant at 308 K. Report your answer to two significant figures.
