For a complex reaction $A \xrightarrow{K} \text{products}$,where $Ea_1 = 180 \ kJ/mol$,$Ea_2 = 80 \ kJ/mol$,and $Ea_3 = 50 \ kJ/mol$,the overall rate constant $K$ is related to individual rate constants by the equation $K = (\frac{K_1 \cdot K_2}{K_3})^{2/3}$. The activation energy $(kJ/mol)$ for the overall reaction is:

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $43.44$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $140$
