The amount of energy released during a reaction tells nothing about the rate at which that reaction will occur.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of energy released (or absorbed) during a reaction (enthalpy change) does not determine the reaction rate. The reaction rate is influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst, rather than the energy change itself.
