1. The activation energy can be obtained using the equation k = Ae-EaRT where R is the gas law constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and k is the rate constant. The following graph represents your results. On it, a is Alog k, and b is A(1/T). The numerical value (in appropriate units) for a is -0.63 and b is 2.52 x 10-4. Your reported Ea should be
