Adjust reaction rate to a different temperature

Here you can specify the reaction rate \(k_{2}\), the temperature \(T_{1}\) at which it was measured, and the desired temperature \(T_{2}\).
Based on the 233K and 273K reaction rates of ethylbenzene[1] with [FeIV(O)(TPA)(MeCN)]2+ and [FeIV(O)(QBPA)(MeCN)]2+, the formula used[2] is: $$ k_{2}(T_{2}) = {k_{2}(T_{1}) \cdot f^{\frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{10}}}$$
