R
2R
$${1 \over R}$$
$${1 \over {2R}}$$

Explanation

K = A$${e^{ - {{{E_a}} \over {RT}}}}$$

lnK = lnA $${ - {{{E_a}} \over {RT}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ lnK = lnA $${ - {{{E_a}{{10}^3}} \over {{{10}^3}RT}}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ Slope = $${ - {{{E_a}} \over {{{10}^3}R}}}$$ = $$ - {{10} \over 5}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{{{E_a}} \over R}}$$ = 2000 J/mol

$$ \Rightarrow $$ Ea = 2R KJ/mol
