The rate of the chemical reaction doubles when the temperature is raised from $\displaystyle 298$ K to $\displaystyle 308$ K. Calculate activation energy $\displaystyle \left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)$ for this reaction assuming that it does not change with temperature. (Given : $\displaystyle \mathrm{R}=8 \cdot 314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, \log 2=0 \cdot 30$ )
