Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2025 · 24 January, Shift 2

Consider a complex reaction taking place in three steps with rate constants k1k_1, k2k_2, and k3k_3 respectively. The overall rate constant kk is given by the expression k=k1k3k2k = \sqrt{\frac{k_1 k_3}{k_2}}. If the activation energies of the three steps are 60kJ mol160 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}, 30kJ mol130 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}, and 10kJ mol110 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1} respectively, then the overall energy of activation in kJ mol1\text{kJ mol}^{-1} is _____(Nearest integer).
