Question

What is true about a reaction with low activation energy?

A. The reaction requires a high temperature.
B. The rate of the reaction is fast.
C. The rate of the reaction is slow.
D. The reaction will not proceed.

Answer 1

@aaronq A right?

Answer 2

A high activation state requires a high temperature to supply sufficient kinetic energy, no that is not correct.

Answer 3

So it's D? @aaronq

Answer 4

hmm no. low energy to reach the transition state requires a low temperature only, if say the temperature was high, how would that affect the rate?

Answer 5

The rate would be fast?

Answer 6

So the answer is C?

Answer 7

the rate would be fast

Answer 8

With a low activation energy?

Answer 9

yeah, because it's easier to "go up the hill"

Answer 10

Ok so the answer is B? you're sure?

Answer 11

entirely

Answer 12

Okay thanks :)

Answer 13

no problemm
