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 . On the other hand, if the activation energy is high then fraction of effective collisions will be small and the reaction will be slow .
