Interpretation: The slow rate of a reaction at the room temperature and increase in the temperature or the addition of the catalyst to the reaction is given. The better solution between the use of catalyst and increase of the temperature that helps in the accurate determination of the rate constant of the reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to occur is known as the activation energy.
To determine: The better solution between the use of catalyst and increase of the temperature that helps in the accurate determination of the rate constant of the reaction.
