For a certain reaction, a graph in which the natural log of vapor pressure is plotted along the y-axis and 1/T is plotted along the x-axis produces a straight line with slope equal to -4,091 K. What is the activation energy of the reaction, in kJ/mol? Report our answer to four significant figures. Do NOT include units in your answer.

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
