This is indeed a really good question!!!
Here the eqn you should use is kt=2.303log((a+x)/a)........(1)
[This is a different eqn applied in this case only]
and
log(k2/k1)=Ea(T2-T1)/(2.303T1T2)........(2)
Also see that the milk sours implies that the no. of bacterias should be same.
ie log((a+x)/a) should be same.
At T1=293K ,
k2*64=2.303log((a+x)/a)......(3)
At T2= 276K
k1*64*3=2.303log((a+x)/a)
So we get k2/k1=3
Use (2)
So log(3)=Ea(293-276)/(2.303*293*276)........(4)
At T3=313K
log(k3/k2)=Ea(313-293)/(2.303*293*313).....(5)
(4)/(5) gives
k3=3.125k2
Now
k3*t=2.303log((a+x)/a)
or
3.125k2*t=2.303log((a+x)/a)
Divide this by (3)
We get t=20.48hrs
I hope you will be clear!!!
