Two similar reactions have the same rate constant at 25°C, but at 35°C one of the reaction has a higher rate constant than the other. Account for these observations.
K = AeEa/RT. It is just accidental that both reactions have same k at 25°C, since K depends upon A, Ea and T. The reaction with the higher rate at 35°C has the larger activation energy, because it was able to use the increase in energy more effectively.
