For the gas phase isomerization of methyl cis-cinnamate,

\[ \text{cis-}C_6H_5CH=CHCOOCH_3 \rightarrow \text{trans-}C_6H_5CH=CHCOOCH_3 \]

the rate constant in s\(^{-1}\) has been determined at several temperatures. When ln \( k \) is plotted against the reciprocal of the Kelvin temperature, the resulting linear plot has a slope of \(-2.09 \times 10^4\) K and a y-intercept of 24.3.

The value of the rate constant for the gas phase isomerization of methyl cis-cinnamate at 654 K is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) s\(^{-1}\).
