For a reversible reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$,the $\Delta H_{\text{forward}} = 20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The activation energy of the uncatalysed forward reaction is $300 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. When the reaction is catalysed keeping the reactant concentration same,the rate of the catalysed forward reaction at $27^{\circ}C$ is found to be same as that of the uncatalysed reaction at $327^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of the catalysed backward reaction is $.... \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
