The rate of reaction becomes double when the temperature of the reaction is increased from $27\,^{\circ}C$ to $57\,^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of the reaction will be ....... $k\,cal$.

For a reaction having three steps, the overall rate constant is $K = \frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3}$. The values of $E_{a1}$, $E_{a2}$ and $E_{a3}$ (activation energies for each step) are $40$, $50$ and $60 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ respectively. The overall activation energy $E_a$ of the reaction is:
