So here's how you find the answer:

Given: (rate constants)

K₁ = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹.
T₁ = 25.0 C = 293 K.
k₂ = 2.6 x10⁻³ M⁻¹s⁻¹.
T₂ = 42.4 C = 315.4 K.
R = 8,314 J/K·mol.

Use the equation:

ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁).

Transpose:

Ea = R·T₁·T₂ / (T₁ - T₂) · ln(k₁/k₂)

Substitute within the given transposed equation:

<span>Ea = 8,314 J/K·mol · 293 K · 315.4 K ÷ (293 K - 315.4 K) · ln (4.0 x 10⁻⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹/ 2.6 x 10⁻³ M⁻¹s⁻¹).
</span>
Continuing the solution we get:

<span>Ea = 768315 J·K/mol ÷ (-22,4 K) * (-1.87)
</span>
The value of EA is:

<span>Ea = 64140.58 J/mol ÷ 1000 J/kJ = 64.140 kJ/mol.</span>
