What can you deduce about the activation energy of a reaction that takes billion

Question

What can you deduce about the activation energy of a reaction that takes billions of years to go to completion? How about a reaction that takes only fractions of a second? The slow reaction must have a high activation energy while the fast reaction must have a low activation energy. The show reaction must have a low activation energy while the fast reaction must have a high activation energy The activation energy of both these reactions must be very high. The activation energy of both these reactions must be very low.

Explanation / Answer

If the activation energy is more then the reaction is slow so it will took more time to complete the reaction.

For low activation energy the reactions takes place fast.

Therefore first option is correct
