 activation energy of catylised reaction is = 76-19=57kJ/mol
Acoording to Arrhenius equation , Rate constatnts or rate of reaction are related as
For uncatalysed reaction
logk1= logA-\frac{Ea1}{2.303RT}
for catalysed reaction
logk1= logA-\frac{Ea2}{2.303RT}
 
log \frac{k2}{k1} =\frac{19}{2.303*8.314*10^{-3}*300}
 
log \frac{k2}{k1} =3.308
taking antilog k2 = 2.032 X 10^{3} K1
