Detailed Solution

Given, initial temperature T1=20+273=293K
Final temperature, T2=35+273=308KR=8.314Jmol1K1
Since, rate becomes double on raising temperature r2=2r1r2r1=2
As rate constant, krk2k1=2
From Arrhenius equation, we know that log k2k1=Ea2.303RT2T1T1T2
                                                      log 2=Ea2.303×8.314308293293×308
                                                   0.3010=Ea2.303×8.31415293×308
                                              Ea=0.3010×2.303×8.314×293×30815
                                                  =34673.48Jmol1=34.7kJmol1
