    The rate constants for decomposition of acetaldehyde have been measured over the temperature range 00−1000 K00 - 1000\text{ }K. The data has been analysed by plotting ln⁡k\ln k vs 103 T\frac{10^{3}}{\text{ }T} graph. The value of activation energy for the reaction is ____\_\_\_\_ kJ mol−1kJ\ mol^{- 1} (Nearest integer) (Given : R=8.31 J K−1 mol−1R = 8.31\text{ }J{\text{ }K}^{- 1}{\text{ }mol}^{- 1} )
