The activation energy of the reaction is unaffected by the value of the steric factor

Experimentally determined value of frequency factor is higher than that predicted by Arrhenius equation

The value of frequency factor predicted by Arrhenius equation is higher than that determined experimentally

Since P=4.5, the reaction will not proceed unless an effective catalyst is used:
