NEED HELP ASAP!
When heated, cyclopropane is converted to propene. Rate constants for this reaction at 470. °C and 510. °C are k1 = 1.10 × 10-4 s-1 and k2 = 1.02 × 10-3 s-1, respectively. Determine the activation energy, Ea, from these data.

Answer:
1.06 × 10^5 J
Explanation:
We have to use the formula;
log(k2/k1) = Ea/2.303 ×R (1/T1 – 1/T2)
Given that;
k1 = 1.10 × 10-4 s-1
k2= 1.02 × 10-3 s-1
Ea=?
R=8.314 Jmol-1K-1
T1= 470. °C
T2= 510. °C
Hence;
log(1.02 × 10-3 s-1/1.10 × 10-4 =Ea/2.303 ×8.314(1/470 -1/510)
0.9672 = Ea/19.122(2.13 – 1.96) × 10^-3
0.9672= Ea/19.122(0.17) × 10^-3
0.9672= 1.7 ×10^-4 Ea/19.122
19.122 × 0.9672 = 1.74 × 10^-4Ea
Ea= 19.122 × 0.9672/1.74 × 10^-4
Ea= 18.495/1.74 × 10^-4
Ea= 1.06 × 10^5 J
