Question

What is the approximate activation energy (in kcal/mol) for the following reaction (1->2 + H+)?

Answer 1

Answer 2

If I'm trying to calculate the approximate activation energy for reaction 1 to 2 would I calculate using the value of the transition state and reaction two?

(35 kcal/mol - (-16 kcal/mol)) =51 kcal/mol

or would I use the values of reaction one and reaction two?
