The rate constant \( k \) for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:

| Temperature | \( k \)            |
|-------------|--------------------|
| 176.0 °C    | \( 9.8 \times 10^5 \) |
| 63.0 °C     | \( 9.6 \times 10^2 \) |

Assuming the rate constant obeys the Arrhenius equation, calculate the activation energy \( E_a \) for this reaction.

Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

\( E_a = \) [Input box] \( \frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}} \)

A small calculator or input tool is shown for entering the answer:
- Options include numerical input and additional functions.
