What else can I help you with?
The amount of energy required to start a reaction is called?
Activation energy. Pg 112 of the living world by Johnson and losos
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.
Chemists call the energy needed to get a reaction started?
Activation energy. It is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. It is necessary to break the bonds of the reactant molecules and start the process of forming new products.
Will an increased temp and an increased concentration speed up a chemical reaction?
Generally, yes. Unless the product of the reaction should be ammonia for example, where a decreased temperature is needed. A catalyst from the transition metals will speed up a reaction too, for example a nickel catalyst in the process of the hydrogenation of margerine as it lowers the activation energy needed for the reaction to start. Increased pressure will also speed up the reaction, no matter what reaction is occurring.
Why is light an important factor in all chemical reactions?
Light can provide the energy needed to start or facilitate chemical reactions through a process called photochemical reaction. Light can also activate certain molecules, allowing them to undergo changes that wouldn't occur otherwise. In addition, light can be used to study and monitor reactions by measuring its interactions with reactants and products.
What substance lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
A substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is a catalyst.
What do chemist call the energy needed to start a reaction?
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called the activation energy :)
Is Activation energy is the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Yes!
What energy is the energy needed to start a reaction?
Activation Energy.
Is it true that catalysts increase the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Catalysts actually lower the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. This makes the reaction happen more easily.
Energy is the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. It acts as a barrier that reactants must overcome to form products. This energy is needed to break bonds in the reactant molecules before new bonds can form in the products.
The energy necessary to start a chemical reaction?
The energy required to start a chemical reaction is called activation energy. It is the minimum amount of energy needed to initiate a reaction by breaking the chemical bonds of the reactants. This energy barrier must be overcome for the reaction to proceed.
What does an enzyme do to the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is termed as whatg type of energy?
ActivAtiOn!!!
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called?
The activation energy.
Does catalysts inhibit the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
no a catalyst starts the reaction
Is the amount of energy needed to cause a chemical reaction to start called activation energy?
yes
