Ethyl iodide decomposes to give ethylene and hydrogen iodide in the
first order gas-phase reaction

C2H5I → C2H4 + HI

At 600 K, the value of k is determined to be 1.6 x 10-6 s^-1
When the temperature is raised to 700 K, the value of k increases to 6.36x10-3 s^-1
What is the activation energy of the reaction?
