The following figure shows Arrhenius plots for four different reactions. Which reaction has the lowest activation energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reaction B has the lowest activation energy because it has the steepest slope, indicating a faster reaction rate at a lower temperature compared to the other reactions. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur, so the lower the activation energy, the easier it is for the reaction to happen.
