Use the potential energy diagram shown to answer the following: Which letter shows the activation energy(without use of a catalyst)

a

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that must be overcome before a reaction will proceed to product.

In the energy diagram, the thick line represent the uncatalyzed path while the broken line line indicates the catalyzed path.

In the diagram above, the letter between the reactant and the Peak of the diagram gives the activation energy. This letter is a.

Therefore, the activation energy for the uncatalyzed reaction is 'a'.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
