26. Without a catalyst, the following gas-phase reaction has an activation gnergy (E) of 125 kJ/mole and an equilibrium constant (K) of 1.5 x 10° at 150 C. 14 (423 A2(g) + B2(g) ââ2AB(g) When a catalyst is used at the same temperature, the reaction occurs about one billion (10 times faster than without the catalyst. Determine the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction. (If necessary, assume no change in the frequency factor). (4 pts)
