Activation energy of a reaction is:...

Activation energy of a reaction is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Activation energy is the extra energy which must be supplied to the reactants so that they change into products .
(i) Catalyst lowers down the activation energy.
There is no effect on activation energy with rise in temperature but number of molecules possessing activation energy will increase.
