A hydrogenation reaction is carried out at 500 K. When the same reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst, it proceeds at the same rate with the same frequency factor at 400 K.
The catalyst lowers the activation energy by 16 kJ mol⁻¹.
What is the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction (in kJ mol⁻¹)?
1. 100 kJ/mol
2. 80 kJ/mol
3. 60 kJ/mol
4. None of the above
