Correct answer: 100
- For each elementary first-order step, use the Arrhenius equation:
- The overall rate constant is given as:
Substitute Arrhenius forms:
- Comparing with the Arrhenius form of overall rate constant,
we get
- Now substitute the given values:
- Therefore, the required integer value is:
