1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
I already have an answer I'm just not sure if it's correct. This is done mostly graphically I just need to known if anyone else thinks it makes sense.
Given this data: what is the rate constant, K, for each reaction, half life of each reaction and activation of the reaction?
Time, Rxn@45C, @ 35C, @25C
0, 7.14E-5, 7.46E-5, 7.46E-5

K for reaction, 2.68mol-1, .570mol-1, .0675mol-1
Half-Life of Reaction, .259, 1.22, 10.3
Activation Energy of Reaction 145kJ/mol
I also don't know if half-life is supposed to be in minutes or hours or what?
2. Relevant equations
HL = ln(2)/K
ln(k) = -Ea/RT + ln(a)
3. The attempt at a solution
