Answer
Identifying Activation Energy in Reaction Profile
In the exothermic reaction profile shown in Figure 8, the activation energy is represented by the energy barrier that must be overcome for the reaction to proceed. This is illustrated as the distance from the energy level of the reactants (at point S) to the peak of the curve (at point Q).
