41. 5T, the change in symmetry number between the starting molecule and the transition state is from 2 to 1, leading to a factor of 2 effect on the rate. For the other molecules, either there is a similar change or no change in the symmetry number. A factor of 2 in the rate corresponds to 0.02 eV in energy, which is small compared with the 0.55 eV range in activation energies observed for these reactions.
