Chemical Kinetics · Arrhenius equation and activation energy

A→B\ce{A -> B} (first reaction)

C→D\ce{C -> D} (second reaction)

Consider the above two first-order reactions. The rate constant for first reaction at 500 K is double of the same at 300 K. At 500 K, 50% of the reaction becomes complete in 2 hour. The activation energy of the second reaction is half of that of first reaction. If the rate constant at 500 K of the second reaction becomes double of the rate constant of first reaction at the same temperature; then rate constant for the second reaction at 300 K is ×10−1\times 10^{-1} hour−1^{-1} (nearest integer).
