An egg takes $4.0 \text{ minutes}$ to boil at sea level where the boiling point of water is $T_1 \text{ K}$, whereas it takes $8.0 \text{ minutes}$ to boil on a mountain top where the boiling point of water is $T_2 \text{ K}$. The activation energy for the reaction that takes place during the boiling of an egg is:

In a bimolecular reaction,the steric factor $P$ was experimentally determined to be $4.5$. The correct option$(s)$ among the following is(are)
$[A]$ The activation energy of the reaction is unaffected by the value of the steric factor
$[B]$ Experimentally determined value of frequency factor is higher than that predicted by Arrhenius equation
$[C]$ Since $P=4.5$,the reaction will not proceed unless an effective catalyst is used
$[D]$ The value of frequency factor predicted by Arrhenius equation is higher than that determined experimentally

It has been found that for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by $9 \, K$,the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at $300 \, K$,the value of activation energy is found to be $...... \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. [nearest integer]
(Given $\ln 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}, \log 2 = 0.30$ )

For a first-order gaseous reaction,a plot of $\log \, k$ versus $1/T$ gives a straight line with a slope of $-8000$. Calculate the activation energy $(E_a)$ of the reaction in $cal$.
