Question 29
Rates of ReactionIn the graph above, the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction is

- A.100KJ.
- B.300KJ.
- C.250KJ.
- D.200KJ.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (100KJ.)
Explanation
The reactants start at 100 kJ and the catalysed (lower, dashed) curve peaks at 200 kJ, so Ea = 200 − 100 = 100 kJ.
