On introducing a catalyst at $500 \, K,$ the rate constant of a first order reaction increases $2.718$ times. If the activation energy in the presence of a catalyst is $4.15 \, kJ \, mol^{-1},$ then what will be $E_a$ in the absence of a catalyst? (Value of $e = 2.718$ and $R = 8.314 \times 10^{-3} \, kJ \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$)

  • A
    $4.15$
  • B
    $2.08$
  • C
    $2.718$
  • D
