The rate constant $(K')$ of one reaction is double the rate constant $(K'')$ of another reaction. What is the relationship between the corresponding activation energies of the two reactions (${E_a}'$ and ${E_a}''$)?

  • A
    ${E_a}' > {E_a}''$
  • B
    ${E_a}' = {E_a}''$
  • C
    ${E_a}' < {E_a}''$
  • D
    ${E_a}' = 4{E_a}''$

$A$ reaction takes place in three steps with individual rate constants and activation energies. The overall rate constant is given by $k = (\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3})^{2/3}$. The overall activation energy of the reaction in $kJ/mol$ is:
$Step$ $Rate\ Constant\ /\ Activation\ energy$
