Chemistry gas phase problem?
The gas phase reaction
2 N2O5(g) → 4 NO2(g) + O2(g)
has an activation energy of 103 kJ/mol, and the first order rate constant is
1.47×10-8 min-1 at 232 K. What is the rate constant at 242 K?

Comments
from the Arrhenius equation at two temperatures
ln(k1/k2) = (Ea/R)(1/T2 - 1/T1)
solve for k2, you know or can look up everything else.
