Explanation

From Arrhenius equation, we get

$$\log {{{K_2}} \over {{K_1}}} = {{{E_a}} \over {2.303R}}\left( {{1 \over {{T_1}}} - {1 \over {{T_2}}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\log {1 \over {2.5 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}} = {{{E_a}} \over {2.303 \times 8.314}}\left( {{1 \over {600}} - {1 \over {800}}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 3.6 = $${{{E_a}} \over {2.303 \times 8.314}} \times {{200} \over {600 \times 800}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ E$$a$$ = 166 kJ/mol
