A temperature-sensitive chemical reaction follows the rate equation r(T)=100eEa/RTr(T) = 100e^{-E_a/RT} molecules/second, where Ea=50,000E_a = 50,000 J/mol is activation energy, R=8.314R = 8.314 J/(mol·K) is the gas constant, and TT is absolute temperature in Kelvin. A reactor operates at 300 K. If temperature increases by 10 K, by what factor does the reaction rate increase?
