The activation energy for the reaction, 2HI(g)toH_2(g)+I_2(g) is 209.5kj mol^(-1) at 581 K.Calculate the fraction of molecules of reactant having energy equal to or greater than activation energy.

Rate of a reaction can be expressed by-Arrhenius equation , k=Ae ^ −Ea/RT. In this equation (Ea) represents (1)The total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature. (2)The fraction of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction. (3)The energy above which all the colliding molecules will react. (4)The energy below which colliding molecules will not react.
