A potential energy diagram is shown. A graph is plotted with Potential Energy in KJ on the y axis and Reaction Pathway on the x axis. The graph starts at 30 on the y axis and it is initially horizontal, labeled Reactants, and then rises up as a smooth curve and reaches its peak when y is 65 kilojoules. The curve comes down until y is 55 kilojoules where it becomes horizontal again, and it is labeled Products. What is the activation energy of this reaction? (5 points) 10 kJ 25 kJ 30 kJ 35 kJ

35 KJ.

Explanation:

The activation energy is the minimum energy that must be overcome for a reaction to take place.

In the diagram given above, the activation energy lies between the energy of the reactants and that at the peak.

Thus we can calculate the activation energy as follow:

Energy of reactants = 30 KJ

Energy at the peak = 65 KJ

Activation energy =..?

Activation energy = Energy at the peak – Energy of reactants

Activation energy = 65 – 30

Activation energy = 35 KJ

Therefore, the activation energy of th reaction is 35 KJ

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
