Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 4 - No. 8)

What is the relationship between activation energy and the rate of reaction?
Higher activation energy means a faster reaction.
Higher activation energy means a slower reaction.
Activation energy has no impact on the rate.
Activation energy speeds up the reaction.

Explanation

Higher activation energy indicates a slower reaction rate, as more energy is needed for the reaction to proceed.
