What do you call the kinetic energy needed for molecules to chemically react?

The minimum amount of kinetic energy needed by the reactant molecules to react is the activation energy. If the energy of the reactants are less than that, they wont react.by increasing the temperature, the activation energy of reactants can be increased.

How does the kinetic energy of particles vary as a function of temperature?
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.[1] It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body in decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energyThere is no relation to temperature. Temperature is a measure of *RANDOM* motion. A velocity is not random.
Is temperature inversely related to the average kinetic energy of a gas?
In an ideal gas of monatomic particles, the average kinetic energy is <K>=(3/2)*k*T In a more general ideal gas, the average energy of each particle is <K>=(d/2)*k*T where d is the number of degrees of freedom. There isn't a clear distinction between kinetic and potential energy for general degrees of freedom. For normal (non-negative) temperatures, as temperature increases, so does energy. The exact relation depends on the entropy of the system. T=dU/dS, where d is the partial derivative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas
What is necessary for evaporation to occur?
Heat, or energy, is needed for evaporation to occur. Energy breaks bonds holding water molecules together, making evaporation possible.
What energy is required to begin a chemical reaction?
Your answer is asked on a too broad spectrum. A brief explanation: A chemical reaction is a reaction where certain molecules are reformed to other molecules. To split Water (H2O) into H2 and O2, it needs to be heated to 1800 C, requiring approximately 7524 Kj. However; Sodium (Na) is an alkaline metal, which produces a chemical reaction when it merely touches air or water. PS: Water is more often split with electrolyse (with electricity) than with thermolyse The general sort of energy required is the activation energy. Which can be all kinds of energy.
What happens when those molecules are no longer needed?
they are broken down. Cells can make certain molecules when needed for a certain function. -Novanet
What provides the energy needed for evaporation to occur naturally in the water cycle?
The kinetic energy of the molecules is the source.
A mineral needed in the body that bonds chemically to oxygen molecules?
the mineral is IRON
What type of energy is needed to get zinc reacted with hydrochloric acid?
kinetic energy
What is needed to create mechanical energy?
This energy can be formed either from kinetic/movement energy or potential energy
What is needed to calculate kinetic energy?
Mass of a body and its speed are needed to calculate kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of an object = mv2/2 This formula is useful only when object's speed is much less than speed of light.
Do molecules gain or lose energy from evaporation?
Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
What term describes the amount of energy a moving energy has?
An object's kinetic energy is energy entirely due to its motion. The kinetic energy of an object, at some given speed, is the work needed to accelerate that body from rest to the given speed.
What factors are needed for cloud formation?
You need water vapor, kinetic energy, and energy surrounding inside the atmosphere.
Energy that drives diffusion?
Diffusion occurs via random atomic [and molecular] collisions. The Kinetic Energy that is needed to accomplish this is derived exclusively from Heat. No Heat, or even Warmth, yields no Diffusion.
Which form of energy is needed to change water from a liquid to gas?
Heat is applied to water to raise the Kinetic energy of the individual molecules so that they eventually break away from the surface of the liquid state in ever increasing numbers.
What term describes the amount of energy a moving object has?
An object's kinetic energy is energy entirely due to its motion. The kinetic energy of an object, at some given speed, is the work needed to accelerate that body from rest to the given speed.
What is the maximum amount of kinetic energy made from potential energy with 5kg mass?
The height in meters and the velocity in m/s are needed.
