The decomposition of $N_2O$ into $N_2$ and $O_2$ in the presence of argon follows first-order kinetics. If the rate constant is given by $K = 5.0 \times 10^{11} \, e^{-2000/T}$,what is the activation energy of the reaction?

  • A
    $16.628 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$
  • B
    $166.28 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$
  • C
    $166.28 \, J \, mol^{-1}$
  • D
    $16.628 \, J \, mol^{-1}$
