Answer:
The catalyzed reaction will take 1,41 s
Explanation:
The rate constant for a reaction is:
Assuming frequency factor is the same for both reactions (with and without catalyst) it is possible to obtain:
Replacing:
That means the reaction occurs 5,64x10¹⁰ faster than the uncatalyzed reaction, that is 2537 years / 5,64x10¹⁰ = 4,50x10⁻⁸ years. In seconds:
4,50x10⁻⁸ years××
×
=<em> 1,41 s</em>
