    Answer is: activation energy of this reaction is 1062 J/mol.

    Arrhenius equation: ln (k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁).

    k₁ = 0,0796 l/mol·s.

    k₂ = 0,0815 l/mol·s.

    1/T₁ = 1/737+273 = 0,00099 1/K.

    1/T₂ = 1/947+273 = 0,00081 1/K.

    ln (0,0796/0,0815) = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol · (-0,00018 1/K).

    0,023 / 0,00018 = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol.

    Ea = 1062 J/mol.
