Drawing an energy profile when the coefficients in the equation are halved
« on: July 16, 2014, 07:42:36 AM »
A question initially asks you to draw an energy profile given the thermochemical equation. Then it asks you to sketch another profile if all the coefficients in the equation are halved. I understand that the change in enthalpy would halve but what would happen to the activation energy? Would that halve also or stay the same as before?

Halve also. Simply shrink the whole y axis by a factor of 2.
