what happen when activation energy of a chemical reaction becomes equal to RT?

“It means if Ea=RT then rate constant become about 37% of the Arrhenius constant.

The energy of activation for a reaction is 100 kJ mol–1. Presence of a catalyst lowers the energy of activation by 75%.What will be effect on rate of reaction at 20ºC, other things being equal?

SOLUTION: The Arrhenius equation is

In Arrhenius equation for a certain reaction, the value of A and Ea (activation energy) are 4 × 10^13 sec–1 and 98.6 kJ mol–1 respectively. At what temperature, the reaction will have specific rate constant 1.1 × 10^–3 sec–1?

SOLUTION: According to Arrhenius equation
