An esterification reaction has an activation barrier of 19.5 kJ/mol at 25.0 °C. The activation barrier is lowered to 12.3 kJ/mol when a catalyst is added to the reaction mixture. If the frequency factor for the reaction does not change, how many times faster is the catalyzed reaction than the uncatalyzed reaction?
