The time required ofr 10% completion of a first order reation at 298 K is equal to that required for its 25% completion at 308 K.
If pre exponential factor for the reaction is 3.56 x 109 s-1, calculate its rate constant at 318 K and also the energy of activation.

k1.t= 2.303log10/9
k2.t = 2.303log4/3
k1/k2 = log10/9 / log4/3 ---------#1
again, k1/k2=e-Ea/R[1/T1 -1/T2] -------------- #2
comparing 1 and 2 and putting the temperatures we get Ea.
now from the arrhenius eqn,
k=Ae-Ea/RT, we get the rate constant at 318K.
