Regarding the velocity in a reversible reaction,which is the correct explanation of the effect of a catalyst?

The rate constant is doubled when temperature increases from $27^{\circ} C$ to $37^{\circ} C$. What is the activation energy in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$?

The rate constant is given by the equation $k = p Z e^{-E_a/RT}$. Which factor should register a decrease for the reaction to proceed more rapidly?

The rate constant of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation: $\log K = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$. If a plot of $\log K$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line with a slope of $-5632$,then the activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
