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.
