Activation energy is the initial amount of energy required to initiate a a reaction where as the energy of reaction is the total amout of energy realeased or absorbed during the complete reaction which is also called as heat of reaction.

∙ 8y agoEnergy is usable power, usually from light, heat or chemical or biological activity. It is the ability of something (such as heat, light, or running water) to be active or to perform work.
Activation Energy the minimum amount of energy that reacting chemical species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction.

What term refers to the difference between the energy of the transition state and the energy of the reactants?
The different in energy between the products and reactant is known as enthalpy of the reaction, or ∆Hreaction.
What is the difference between tempurture and thermal energy?
What is the difference between tempurture and thermal energy
What is the difference between usable energy and total energy?
The difference is the unusable energy.
The difference between traditional and non-traditional source of energy?
difference between traditional sources of energy and coal
What energy is the energy needed to start a reaction?
Activation Energy.
The difference between catalyst and inhibitor?
A catalyst lower the activation energy (speeds up the reaction) while an inhibitor increases the activation energy (slows it down).
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.
Which statement defines activation energy?
Activation energy is defined as the minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction. That means the energy required to activate atoms or molecules.
What term refers to the difference between the energy of the transition state and the energy of the reactants?
The different in energy between the products and reactant is known as enthalpy of the reaction, or ∆Hreaction.
What is the difference between the reaction with an enzyme and the reaction without an enzyme?
Very high activation energy is needed in enzymelss reactions
What energy is required for the reaction to occur?
Activation energy. The kinetic energy from collisions between particles is used to reach the transition state
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)
How is the activation energy related to whether or not collision between molecules is successful?
Generally speaking, the lower the activation energy, the more successful collision between molecules will happen.
What is activation energy and how do enzymes effect it?
There is no straight forward relation between enzyme and activation energy because although energy of reaction is fixed and is governed by laws of chemistry but for biochemical reactions concentration of enzyme and conc. of substrate affect rate of reaction and energy, but in general enzymes decrease activation energy of reaction.
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.
What do you understand by energy of activation?
it's energy that causes starting of reaction between reactants
What type of energy starts a reaction to overcome an energy barrier between reactants and products?
Activation energy
