Calculating Overall Activation Energy
Consider a complex reaction taking place in three steps with rate constants k1, k2 and k3 respectively. The overall rate constant k is given by the expression If the activation energies of the three steps are 60, 30 and 10 kJ mol–1 respectively, then the overall energy of activation in kJ mol–1 is ________.
