Solution

$T_{1} = 300 K$
$T_{2} = 309 K$
Since the rate constant doubles with every 9K rise in temperature:
$K_{2} = 2 K_{1}$
Activation energy, $E_{a} = ?$
$log \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{E_{a}}{2.3 R} [\frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2} . T_{1}}]$
$log 2 = \frac{E_{a}}{2.3 \times 8.3} [\frac{9}{309 \times 300}]$
$E_{a} = \frac{0.3 \times 309 \times 300 \times 2.3 \times 8.3}{9}$
$= 58988.1 J / m o l$
$= 59 k J / m o l$
