Problem

For a certain reaction, the fraction of gas molecules with kinetic energy greater than the activation energy (EaE_a) is 8.0 % at 300 K and 12.0 % at 310 K. Assuming that the reaction rate is directly proportional to this fraction, calculate the percent increase in the initial reaction rate when the temperature is raised from 300 K to 310 K.
