Two reactions with different activation energies have the same rateat room temperature. Which statement correctly describes the ratesof these two reactions?
a) the reaction with the larger activation energy will befaster
b)the reaction with the smaller activation energy will befaster
c) the two reactions will continue to occur at the same rates
d) a prediction cannot be made without additionalinformation.

I thought the answer was b because reactions with small activationenergy are faster, but the answer is A. I am confused how tempaffects reacting molecules and activation energy.

Help please!!
Thank you

101. This reaction has an activation energy of zero in the gas phase: CH3 + CH3 -C2H5 a. Would you expect the rate of this reaction to change very much with temperature? b. Why might the activation energy be zero? c. What other types of reactions would you expect to have little or no activation energy?

A certain reaction has an activation energy of 37.51 kJ/mol. At what Kelvin temperature will the reaction proceed 5.00 times faster than it did at 349 K?
