What do reaction profiles show
Relative energies of products and reactants in a reaction and shows how the energy changes over time
What is the activation energy on graphs
Minimum amount of energy the tea tents need to collide with eachother and react. The greater this is the more energy is requires
What is a electrochemical cell
