Question

6. If the activation energy of a reaction decreases then the rate of reaction​

Answer 1

If the activation energy of a reaction decreases then the rate of reaction increases.

• The activation energy is inversely proportional to the rate of the reaction.
• Activation energy can be defined as the minimum amount of energy that is required for any reaction to take place.
• Hence if the activation energy decreases, then the reaction could be possible with less amount of energy and hence the rate of reaction will increase.
