The reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(aq) to 2 H2 O...

The reaction `2 H_2(g) + O_2(aq) to 2 H_2 O(l) `is thermodynamically feasible. How is that a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen kept at room temperature shows no tendency to form water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No reactant molecule is having energy greater than threshold energy and energy equal to activation energy is required to initiate the reaction.
