The rate equation is given as:
k = A e^(- Ea / RT)
Dividing state 1 and state 2:
k1/k2 = e^(- Ea / RT1) / e^(- Ea / RT2)
k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 - (- Ea / RT2)]
k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2)]
Taking the ln of both sides:
ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2
ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / R (1/T1 - 1/T2)
Since k2 = 4k1, therefore k1/k2 = ¼
ln (1/4) = [- (56,000 J/mol) / (8.314 J / mol K)] (1/273
K – 1/ T2)
2.058 x 10^-4 = 1/273 – 1/T2
T2 = 289.25 K

It's called a compound because different elements are held together by a chemical bond.
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as

Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
