Identify that the problem involves the Arrhenius equation, which relates the rate constant \( k \) to temperature \( T \): \( k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \), where \( A \) is the pre-exponential factor, \( E_a \) is the activation energy, and \( R \) is the gas constant.
Use the Arrhenius equation in its logarithmic form to set up two equations for the two given temperatures: \( \ln k_1 = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T_1} \) and \( \ln k_2 = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T_2} \).
Subtract the first equation from the second to eliminate \( \ln A \) and solve for \( E_a \): \( \ln \frac{k_2}{k_1} = -\frac{E_a}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T_2} - \frac{1}{T_1} \right) \).
Calculate \( E_a \) using the given rate constants \( k_1 = 0.000122/s \) at \( T_1 = 27 \degree C = 300.15 \text{ K} \) and \( k_2 = 0.228/s \) at \( T_2 = 77 \degree C = 350.15 \text{ K} \).
Use the calculated \( E_a \) and the Arrhenius equation to find the rate constant \( k \) at \( 17 \degree C = 290.15 \text{ K} \) by rearranging the equation: \( \ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T} \).

Arrhenius Equation

The Arrhenius equation describes the temperature dependence of the rate constant, expressed as k = A * e^(-Ea/RT), where A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. This equation allows for the calculation of rate constants at different temperatures by relating them through their activation energy.
