Question

What do you mean by activation energy how it is related to ratee const?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Activation Energy (Ea) - is the energy level that the reactant molecules must overcome before a reaction can occur. In order to calculate the activation energy we need an equation that relates the rate constant of a reaction with the temperature (energy) of the system.

Answer 2

Answer:

The higher the temperature, the higher the rate constant and, for specified concentrations of reactants, the faster the reaction. The rate of a reaction always increases with increasing temperature (higher rate of collisions), so the activation energy is always positive.
