MCQ
Activation energy of a reaction is
  • A
    The energy released during the reaction
  • B
    The energy evolved when activated complex is formed
  • Minimum amount of energy needed to overcome the potential barrier of reaction
  • D
    The energy needed to form one mole of the product

Answer

Correct option: C.
Minimum amount of energy needed to overcome the potential barrier of reaction
c
We know that activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by the reactants to undergo a particular chemical reaction.

Hence, the option $C$ is the correct answer.
