The rate constant for the first order decomposition of a certain reaction is described by the equation $\ln k (s^{-1}) = 14.34 - \frac{1.25 \times 10^{4} \ K}{T}$. The energy of activation for this reaction is

  • A
    $1.26 \times 10^{4} \ cal \ mol^{-1}$
  • B
    $4.29 \times 10^{4} \ cal \ mol^{-1}$
  • C
    $3.12 \times 10^{4} \ cal \ mol^{-1}$
  • D
    $2.50 \times 10^{4} \ cal \ mol^{-1}$
