Define the following terms: (i) Activation energy (ii) Rate constant |
Answer» Solution : (i) Activation ENERGY : Energy required to form the intermediate called activated complex during a reaction, is KNOWN as activation energy. This is explained with the help of the given figure. (ii) Rate CONSTANT : It is the rate of the reaction when the concentration of the species involved is unity. Rate `=K[A]^(x)[B]^(y)` When [A] = [B] = 1, we have Rate= k Hence the above definition. |
