Lab 1C – Energy Diagrams, Catalysts, and Reaction Mechanisms Answer 

  1. Activation energy is the amount of energy that the reactants need in order to react and become the products.

 

  1. If the kinetic energy from a collision between reactants is greater than the activation energy then the reaction is spontaneous.
