Chemistry-Activation Energy

NEET Chemistry Activation Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about activation energy is correct?

A

Activation energy is a constant specific to a particular reaction and is measured in joules/mole.

B

A higher activation energy always results in a faster reaction rate at constant temperature.

C

The Arrhenius factor is unrelated to activation energy and has no impact on the reaction rate.

D

Activation energy can be decreased by increasing the concentration of reactants.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Activation energy (Ea) is indeed a constant specific to a reaction, measured in joules/mole, as stated in the NCERT context. Higher activation energy does not necessarily lead to faster reaction rates, and the Arrhenius factor is intrinsically linked to activation energy in the Arrhenius equation.
