A decomposition reaction of gas A is carried out at temperatures of 100 °C and 200 °C using a batch reactor having the same reaction rate form as follows (pa is the partial pressure of gas A). -rA = 2pA^2 -rA = [mol/m3.sec] and pa = [atm). Calculate the value of the activation energy (J/mol) for the reaction.
