This is to be calculated from at least two identical kinetic experiments1) only varying the temperature. Use the Arrhenius equation2):
kT = A * e^[-Ea/R.T ]in which: (all in SI units: J, mole, K as applicable)- kT = rate constant, measured at temp. T1 or T2
- A = Arrhenius factor, (largely) independent of temperature (if |T1-T2| < 25 K)
- e^ = power of e, e being the base of the natural logarithm, e=2.71828...
- Ea = activation energy of the particular reaction (independent of temperature and concentration)
- R = universal gas constant
- T = temperature (T1 or T2, both > 250 K)
1) All reaction parameters should be the same except temperature.
2)The Arrhenius equation is a simple, but remarkably accurate, formula for the temperature dependence of the rate constant, and therefore, rate of a chemical reaction.
The equation was first proposed by the Dutch chemist J. H. van 't Hoff (who was my 'chemical grandfather' when I was 14, at my first chemical college) in 1884; five years later in 1889, the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius provided a physical justification and interpretation for it.

What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What it the term used to describe the energy needed to get a reaction started?
The energy needed to get a reaction started is called activation energy.
What is activation energy How does a catalyst affect activation energy?
Activation energy is the energy required by a reaction for the reaction to occur. The catalyst lowers the activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to happen.Improvement:A catalyst don't lowers the activation energy. A catalyst creates a alternative route (*) for the same reaction with a lower activation energy.* = as a result of the interaction of the reagents with the catalyst.
What term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
Does tight binding between enzyme and its substrate imply rapid catalysis?
All catalysts, enzyme work via the lowering of the activation energy for a reaction this causes the rate of the reaction to increase dramatically. Should be noted that most enzyme with tight binding reactions rates are millions of times faster than those of of catalyst similar reactions. causing rapid catalysis
What is the process of lowering the activation energy of a reaction is called?
catalysis
A campfire is started by a lit match The match provides?
All of theseIt produces enzymes, provides activation energy,& causes catalysis.
Is it true or false that all chemical reactions require an initial input of energy called catalysis?
FalseAll chemical reactions require an initial input of energy called activation energy.
How does catalysis affect te rate in which substances will dissolve?
a substance that inreases the rate of reation by lowering the activation-energy barrier. the catalyst is not used up in the reaction.
What is catailysis?
It is an enzyme that allows for a reaction to accur sooner then normal. The catalysis makes the activation energy needed by the reaction less then what would have been normally. Allowing for a reaction to happen faster.
What is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
activation energy ( I know it is right because it is in my science book)
What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
What kind of energy do enzymes reduce?
activation energy activation energy
Is activation energy added or just there?
Activation energy is the amount of energy that should be gained by potential reactants, for a reaction to occur. A reaction can be occurred by reducing the activation energy of the reaction or increasing the activation energy of the reactants. Activation energy should be added.
What is an activation energy diagram in chemistry?
Activation energy in chemistry is the amount of energy required to start a reaction. For every chemical reaction, a certain amount of energy is required to start it. The diagram represents how much energy it takes to do this, and also shows how much energy you get from it. With this diagram, you can also calculate the energy of products, reactants, e.t.c. This is also a useful diagram to explain the function of a catalyst, something used to decrease the activation energy.
What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What does an enzyme do to the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
