Questions and Answers

What is the definition of activation energy?

  • The energy released when a reaction occurs.
  • The energy stored in chemical bonds.
  • The energy needed for particles to collide effectively.
  • The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur. (correct)
  • Which statement is true regarding effective collisions?

  • They need sufficient energy and proper orientation. (correct)
  • They occur without any energy transfer.
  • They require low energy and random particle orientation.
  • They require high temperature conditions only.
  • How does activation energy affect reaction rates?

  • Higher activation energy always increases the reaction rate.
  • Higher activation energy slows down the reaction rate. (correct)
  • Lower activation energy decreases the likelihood of an effective collision.
  • Activation energy has no impact on reaction kinetics.

    Study Notes

    Bond Energy and Enthalpy of Reaction

    • Bond energy is the energy needed to break a bond
    • Enthalpy (ΔH°) of reaction can be calculated by subtracting the sum of bond energies of products from the sum of bond energies of reactants
    • Results from calculations using bond energy data may differ from experimental values

    Activation Energy

    • Chemical reactions involve breaking and forming chemical bonds, requiring energy changes.
    • Collision theory explains reaction kinetics, stating that colliding particles need sufficient energy and correct orientation for effective bonding.
    • An effective collision is when particles' energy exceeds the repulsion between reacting particles and correct orientation for bonding exists.
    • Activation energy is the minimum energy required for an effective collision; no reaction occurs if energy is less.
    • Reaction rate depends on activation energy
    • A reaction diagram (figure 8.1) illustrates this concept: the activation energy is the energy barrier reactants must overcome to proceed to the transition state for product formation.
