Question: The initial reaction rate for elementary reaction 2A +B 4C was measured as a function of temperature when the concentration of A was 3 M

The initial reaction rate for elementary reaction 2A +B 4C was measured as a function of temperature when the concentration of A was 3 M and B was 2 M. Calculate the activation energy.
