You may normally expect a slow reaction if a low activation energy is required?
Explain why a high energy of activation causes a reaction to be slow?
What is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
activation energy ( I know it is right because it is in my science book)
Does endothermic have high or low activation energy?
An endothermic reaction would not necessarily have either a high or low activation energy; it could be either and would depend on the reactants. Also, the activation energy alone does not determine if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic; a low or high activation energy could be part of an endothermic or exothermic reaction, again depending on the reactants.

What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
Is activation energy added or just there?
Activation energy is the amount of energy that should be gained by potential reactants, for a reaction to occur. A reaction can be occurred by reducing the activation energy of the reaction or increasing the activation energy of the reactants. Activation energy should be added.
What kind of energy do enzymes reduce?
activation energy activation energy
What is an activation energy diagram in chemistry?
Activation energy in chemistry is the amount of energy required to start a reaction. For every chemical reaction, a certain amount of energy is required to start it. The diagram represents how much energy it takes to do this, and also shows how much energy you get from it. With this diagram, you can also calculate the energy of products, reactants, e.t.c. This is also a useful diagram to explain the function of a catalyst, something used to decrease the activation energy.
What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What does an enzyme do to the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
What does the activation energy for a reaction represent?
Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to start a reaction.
What term is used to describe the minimum amount of energy required in order for a reaction to proceed?
This energy is called "energy of activation", it is used to overcame the energy barrier between reactants and products.
