Chapter 13, Problem 85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy of activation for the reaction of $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{I}}_{\text{2}}$ in the gas phase is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Activation energy is the energy required for a reaction to start. Its unit is $\text{kJ/mol}$ . Activation energy is temperature dependant.

To determine: The energy of activation for the reaction of $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{1}\text{mol}$ of ${\text{I}}_{\text{2}}$ in the gas phase.
