Question

The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of CH3 Cl (methyl chloride) in H2O has a value of 3.32 x 10-10 S-1 at 25°C and 3.13 x 10-9 s¹ at 40°C. What is the value of the energy of activation? [Hint: you'll need the Arrhenius equation. Set it up for two different temperatures & solve for Ea.]
