Reactions with high activation energy are_____________________?
Correct answer: A. Very temperature sensitive
- A. Very temperature sensitive
- B. Temperature insensitive
- C. Always irreversible
- D. Always reversible
Explanation
From the Arrhenius equation, a high activation energy makes the rate constant change sharply with temperature. Such reactions are therefore highly temperature sensitive, whereas low-activation-energy reactions are less sensitive.
