For a reaction rate that increases by a factor of 655 in the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the activation energy of the new pathway is mathematically given as
Ea2=89.28JKoule/mol
Generally, the equation for the rate constant is mathematically given as
K=Ae^{Ea1/Rt}
Therefore
[tex]\frac{1}{655}=\frac{1}{8.31*3.10}(Ea2-105000)[/tex]
Ea2=89286.083Joule/mol
In conclusion, the activation energy
Ea2=89.28JKoule/mol
