The Arrhenius equation for the rate constant is $k = Ae^{-E_a/RT}$. $A$ chemical reaction will proceed more rapidly if there is a decrease in

At $298 \text{ K}$ temperature,the activation energy for the reaction $x_2 + y_2 \rightarrow 2xy + 20 \text{ kJ}$ is $15 \text{ kJ}$. What will be the activation energy for the reaction $2xy \rightarrow x_2 + y_2$?

For a reaction taking place in three steps at the same temperature,the overall rate constant is $K = \frac{K_1 K_2}{K_3}$. If $E_{a1}$,$E_{a2}$,and $E_{a3}$ are $40 \ kJ/mol$,$50 \ kJ/mol$,and $60 \ kJ/mol$ respectively,the overall activation energy $E_a$ is . . . . . . $kJ/mol$.

The decomposition of ethane,$\frac{d[C_2H_6]}{dt} = k[C_2H_6]$,proceeds through a complex mechanism,which includes $5$ steps. The overall rate constant $(k)$ is expressed as $k = \frac{k_1 k_2 k_3}{k_2 k_5}$,where $k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4, k_5$ are the rate constants of the $5$ steps. If the activation energies of the steps are $E_1 = 1E, E_2 = 2E, E_3 = 3E, E_4 = 4E, E_5 = 5E$,where $E = 20 \ kJ/mol$,find the overall activation energy of the decomposition.

If for two reactions $E_{a_1} > E_{a_2}$ and $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are their respective temperature coefficients,then which of the following is correct?
