The following graph is obtained for a reaction $(A \rightarrow P)$. The activation energy ($E_{a}$ in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) and heat of reaction ($|\Delta H|$ in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) for this reaction are respectively ($x=$ reaction coordinate; $y=E$ in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$)

Given below is an expression for the rate constant of a first order reaction occurring at a certain temperature, $T (\text{K})$.
$\ln k = 14.34 - \frac{1.25 \times 10^4}{T}$
The energy of activation in $\text{kcal mol}^{-1}$ for the reaction is :
(Given : $k$ is $\text{s}^{-1}$, $R = 1.987 \text{ cal mol}^{-1} \text{ K}^{-1}$)

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $(k)$ of a chemical reaction is expressed by the Arrhenius equation,$k = A \cdot e^{-E^*/RT}$. The activation energy $(E^*)$ of the reaction can be calculated by plotting:

It has been found that for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by $9 \, K$,the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at $300 \, K$,the value of activation energy is found to be $...... \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. [nearest integer]
(Given $\ln 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}, \log 2 = 0.30$ )

For a reaction having three steps, the overall rate constant is $K = \frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3}$. The values of $E_{a1}$, $E_{a2}$ and $E_{a3}$ (activation energies for each step) are $40$, $50$ and $60 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ respectively. The overall activation energy $E_a$ of the reaction is:
