Identify the intermediate formed in the reaction $H_2 + I_2 \rightarrow 2 HI$.

The temperature coefficient of the saponification reaction of an ester by $NaOH$ is $1.75$. The activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kcal \ mol^{-1}$. (in $.21$)

For reaction $A \to B$,rate constant $K_1 = A_1 e^{-E_{a_1}/RT}$ and for the reaction $X \to Y$,rate constant $K_2 = A_2 e^{-E_{a_2}/RT}$. If $A_1 = 10^8, A_2 = 10^{10}$ and $E_{a_1} = 600 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,$E_{a_2} = 1800 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,then the temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is (given: $R = 2 \ cal \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$):

Explain the collision theory of chemical reactions.

The rate of a reaction can be expressed by the Arrhenius equation as:
$k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
In this equation,$E_a$ represents:

Catalysts are used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Because it
