The uncatalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (into water and oxygen gas)
has an activation energy of 75.3 kJ mol-1.
a) By what factor will the rate constant increase if the temperature is raised from
20°C to 30°C (i.e., what is the ratio of k30°C to k20°C)?
b) How much slower will the rate of decomposition be at 10°C than 20°C (i.e., what
is the ratio of k10°C to k20°C)?
