The rate constants for decomposition of acetaldehyde have been measured over the temperature range $700 - 1000 K$ . The data has been analysed by plotting $lnk$ vs $\frac{10^{3}}{T}$ graph. The value of activation energy for the reaction is ${kJmol}^{- 1}$ . (Nearest integer) (Given : $R = 8.31 J K^{- 1} {mol}^{- 1}$ )
