To calculate the activation energy (E_a) from the given equation, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Write down the Arrhenius equation
The Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant (k) to the temperature (T) and the activation energy (E_a):
\[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \]
where:
- \( k \) = rate constant
- \( A \) = pre-exponential factor
