The presence of a catalyst provides a reaction pathway in which the activation energy of a certain reaction is reduced from 125 kJ per mol to 75 kJ per mol.
a) By what factor does the rate of reaction increase at 298K, all other factors being equal?
What is the relationship between Ea, catalyzed and Ea, uncatalyzed? Why does the solution do (75/125)* Ea, uncatalyzed?

Ea without a catalyst is 125, and with a catalyst is 75. You can plug those values into the Arrhenius equation and take the ratio.
