The reactions `2NO+O_(2) rarr 2NO_(2)`
`2CO+O_(2) rarr 2CO_(2)`
look to be identical, yet the first is faster than the second. The reason is that

A

the first reaction has lower enthalpy change than the second

B

the first reaction has lower internal energy change than the second

C

the first reaction has lower activation energy than the second

D

the first reaction has lower activation energy than the second.
