The energy of activation of a reaction cannot be zero. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It the energy of activation of a reaction is zero then the reactants will spontaneously change into products i.e., the reactants of the reaction cannot joint. Therefore, energy of activation of a reaction cannot be zero.
