Understanding the high-temperature behavior of nitrogen oxides is essential for controlling pollution generated in automobile engines. The decomposition of nitric oxide (NO) to ${\mathrm{N}}_2$ and ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is second order with a rate constant of $0.0794M^{?1}?{\mathrm{s}}^{?1}$ at $737^{?}\mathrm{C}$ and $0.0818M^{?1}?{\mathrm{s}}^{?1}$ at $947^{?}\mathrm{C}$. Part A Calculate the activation energy for the reaction. Express your answer in kilojoules per mole to three significant figures.
