Answer is: activation energy of this reaction is 212,01975 kJ/mol.
Arrhenius equation: ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁).
k₁ = 0,000643 1/s.
k₂ = 0,00828 1/s.

T₁ = 622 K.

T₂ = 666 K.

R = 8,3145 J/Kmol.

1/T₁ = 1/622 K = 0,0016 1/K.
1/T₂ = 1/666 K = 0,0015 1/K.
ln(0,000643/0,00828) = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol · (-0,0001 1/K).
-2,55 = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol · (-0,0001 1/K).
Ea = 212019,75 J/mol = 212,01975 kJ/mol.
