Questions and Answers

What is the minimum energy required to cause a reaction to occur?

  • Free energy
  • Activation energy (correct)
  • Potential energy
  • Heat of reaction
  • What is an activated complex in the context of chemical kinetics?

  • A stable state before the reaction starts
  • A state with minimum potential energy
  • An intermediate state formed during the conversion of reactants into products (correct)
  • A state with maximum potential energy
  • Which equation can be used to calculate the activation energy?

  • van 't Hoff equation: $ln(K_2/K_1) = -rac{ riangle H}{R}(1/T_2 - 1/T_1)$
  • Gibbs free energy change: $ riangle G = riangle H - T riangle S$
  • Arrhenius equation: $k = A e^{-E_a/RT}$ (correct)
  • Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution: $f(v) = 4 ext{ }eta v^2 e^{-eta mv^2/2kT}$
