Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is,
Solution :
The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,
where,
= initial rate constant =
= final rate constant =
= initial temperature =
= final temperature =
R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK
Ea = activation energy
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.
Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is,
