For a reaction `A overset (k) rarr` product, the reaction occurs as : `A overset (k_1) rarr A^(**) overset (k_2) rarr B^(**) overset (k_3) rarr` product
The overall rate constant k is given as: `k= 2k_1 (k_2/k_3)^(2//3)`
If `E_(a1)`, `E_(a2)` and `E_(a3)` are the activation energies of these steps, then what is the relation between overall activation energy `E_(a)` and the activation energies of these steps.
