Question

One (often inaccurate) rule of thumb in biology is that a 10 °c change increases the rate by a factor of ten. if the lower temperature is -8 °c, what activation energy does this correspond?

Answer 1

In chemistry, activation energy is the energy which must be available to a chemical system with potential reactants to result in a chemical reaction. Activation energy may also be defined as the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction.
