Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of activation energy in a chemical reaction?

  • To increase the temperature of the reactants
  • To provide enough energy to break chemical bonds and start the reaction (correct)
  • To act as an inhibitor and slow down the reaction
  • To increase the surface area of the reactants
  • How does the activation energy level relate to the overall energy change of a reaction?

  • The activation energy level is equal to the overall energy change
  • The activation energy level must be higher than the overall energy change
  • The activation energy level is independent of the overall energy change
  • The activation energy level must be lower than the overall energy change (correct)
  • In an exothermic reaction, what is the relationship between the activation energy and the energy released by the reaction?

  • The activation energy is unrelated to the energy released
  • The activation energy is less than the energy released (correct)
  • The activation energy is equal to the energy released
  • The activation energy is greater than the energy released
