The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$ are $180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $200 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The presence of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by $100 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The enthalpy change of the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \to 2AB)$ in the presence of catalyst will be (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$)
