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:

  • A
    the total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature,$T$
  • B
    the fraction of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction
  • C
    the energy above which all the colliding molecules will react
  • D
    the energy below which all the colliding molecules will react
