I don’t know how to do this question about activation energy. For the gas phase isomerization of methyl cis-cinnamate:\[ \text{cis-C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH=CHCOOCH}_3 \longrightarrow \text{trans-C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH=CHCOOCH}_3 \]The rate constant has been determined at several temperatures. When ln \( k \) in s\(^{-1}\) is plotted against the reciprocal of the Kelvin temperature, the resulting linear plot has a slope of -2.09 x 10\(^4\) K and a y-intercept of 24.3.The activation energy for the gas phase isomerization of methyl cis-cinnamate is _______ kJ/mol.**Diagram Explanation:**There is no diagram or graph included in this text. The text refers to a linear graph plot description, where the natural logarithm of the rate constant \( k \) is plotted against the reciprocal of temperature in Kelvin. The graph's slope and y-intercept are provided, which are used to calculate the activation energy using the Arrhenius equation.**Interactive Elements:**- **Submit Answer Button:** Used to submit the calculated activation energy.- **Retry Entire Group Button:** Allows a retry of the question, indicating multiple attempts are allowed.- **Attempts Information:** Indicates "9 more group attempts remaining."
