33PRACTICE PROBLEM
In an experiment, the activation energy of a reaction was found to be 131 kJ/mol. A catalysis was used to increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of 107. Calculate the difference in the activation energy of the uncatalyzed vs. catalyzed reactions. Assume that the pre-exponential and temperature of both reactions are identical.
