Answer:
120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.
Explanation:
The formula for an activation energy is given as:
![\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%28%5Cfrac%7BK_2%7D%7BK_1%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20R%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
where,
= rate constant at
= 
= rate constant at
= 
= activation energy for the reaction = ?
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K
= initial temperature = 
= final temperature = 
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:l
![\log (\frac{k}{40k})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{298K}-\frac{1}{277 K}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%28%5Cfrac%7Bk%7D%7B40k%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%208.314%20J%2Fmol%20K%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B298K%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B277%20K%7D%5D)

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.
The answer is B. It will grow towards the hole in the box because the plant will try and get as close to the sunlight as possible which is called phototropism.
