Estimate the activation energy for the slowest step


At 25°C a certain batch of fire flies were observed to "flash" at the rate of 16.6 times per minute and at the lower rate of 5.5times a minute at a temperature of 15°C. Suppose that the flashing is the result of an overall the chemical reaction that has a single rate limiting step with the highest activation energy. You can assume that the concentrations of "reactants" in the fireflies do not depend on temperature. Use this data to estimate the activation energy for this slowest step.
