The correct answer is: 28.8118kJmol-1

Arrhenius equation is given by,
log10K2K1=Ea2.303×RT2-T1T1T2

Given,

K2K1=3;R=-8.314 JK-1mol-1

T1=20+273=293 K
and T2=50+273=323 K

Substituting the given values in Arrhenius equation,

log103=Ea8.314×2.303323-293323×293

Ea=2.303×8.314×323×293×0.47730

=28811.8 J mol1

=28.8118kJmol-1
