If energy of activation compter lies close to energy of reactants, it means that reaction is
Correct answer: C. Fast
- A. Slow
- B. Exothermic
- C. Fast
- D. Both (b) and (c)
Explanation
When the energy of activation (Ea) is close to the energy of the reactants, it means that the reactant molecules require relatively little additional energy to overcome the energy barrier and proceed to form products. This typically indicates a fast reaction because the molecules can easily reach the transition state and proceed to form products quickly.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
