Answer:

By the same amount

Explanation:

The activation energy and the rate of a reaction rate is closely related to each other. The higher is the activation energy, the lower will the rate of chemical reaction.

Thus, if rate is to be increased by 5×105-fold then the activation energy must be lowered by the same factor as these two entities are inversely proportional to each other
