NEET Chemistry Activation Energy MCQ Question
Consider a potential energy diagram where the y-axis represents potential energy and the x-axis represents the reaction coordinate. Which point on the diagram corresponds to the activation energy for the formation of HI from H2 and I2?
The peak of the energy barrier.
The initial energy level of the reactants.
The final energy level of the products.
The midpoint between reactants and products.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The activation energy is represented by the peak of the energy barrier in a potential energy diagram, as it is the energy required to reach the transition state from the reactants.
