The rate constant for the forward reaction A(g)2B(g)\text{A(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{B(g)} is 1.5×103s11.5 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{s}^{-1} at 100 K. If 10510^{-5} moles of A and 100 moles of B are present in a 10 litre vessel at equilibrium, then the rate constant for the backward reaction at this temperature is
