Chemical reactions with very high `E_(a)` values are generally

A

very fast

B

very slow

C

moderately fast

D

spontaneous.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If the activation energy for a reaction is low, the fraction of effective collisions will be large and the reaction will be fast. One the other hand, if the activation energy is high, then fraction of effective collisions will be small and the reaction will be slow.
