The rate of a reaction can be expressed by the Arrhenius equation as:
$k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
In this equation,$E_a$ represents:

  • A
    the total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature,$T$
  • B
    the fraction of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction
  • C
    the energy above which all the colliding molecules will react
  • D
    the energy below which all the colliding molecules will react

$A$ sample of milk splits after $60 \; min.$ at $300 \; K$ and after $40 \; min.$ at $400 \; K$ when the population of $Lactobacillus \; acidophilus$ in it doubles. The activation energy (in $kJ / mol$) for this process is closest to ............. $kJ / mol$.
(Given: $R = 8.3 \; J \; mol^{-1} \; K^{-1}$,$\ln(1.5) = 0.405$)
