Photochemical reaction rate does not depend significantly on temperature, because____________________?
Correct answer: C. The energy of reacting molecules exceeds the activation energy by absorption of light
- A. It is a reversible reaction
- B. It is an exothermic reaction
- C. The energy of reacting molecules exceeds the activation energy by absorption of light
- D. None of these
Explanation
Absorption of light supplies the reacting molecules with energy directly, often raising them above the activation-energy barrier. Consequently, the rate is much less dependent on temperature than an ordinary thermally activated reaction.
