Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen gas, and the activation energy for this process is 42 kJ/mol. The hydrogen peroxide formed in biological processes is harmful to tissue, but the enzyme catalase catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by lowering the activation energy to 7.0 kJ/mol. Assuming the frequency factor is the same for both processes and independent of temperature, calculate the temperature required for the uncatalyzed decomposition to proceed at the same rate as the enzyme-catalyzed decomposition at 37°C (normal human body temperature). Is this a reasonable temperature for a biological organism?
