The rate constant of thermal decomposition of ethane is given as:
\(k = \left( \frac{k_1 k_3 k_4}{k_5} \right)^{1/2} \)
The activation energy of the reaction is?
1
\(\frac{1}{2}[-E_{a1}-E_{a4}-E_{a3}+E_{a5}]\)
2
\([-E_{a1}-E_{a3}-E_{a4}+E_{a5}]\)
3
\(\frac{1}{2}[E_{a1}+E_{a3}+E_{a4}-E_{a5}]\)
4
\([E_{a1}+E_{a3}+E_{a4}-E_{a5}]\)
