How Is Enthalpy Change Independent Of Activation Energy? - Chemistry For Everyone

How Is Enthalpy Change Independent Of Activation Energy? Are you curious about how energy changes occur during chemical reactions and what factors influence reaction rates? In this video, we'll clarify the difference between enthalpy change and activation energy, two key concepts in chemistry. We will explain what enthalpy change (Delta H) really measures and how it relates to the overall heat transfer during a reaction. You'll learn why enthalpy change depends only on the initial and final states of a system, making it independent of the reaction pathway. Additionally, we'll discuss activation energy and its role as the energy barrier molecules must overcome to react. We'll explore how catalysts can lower this barrier without affecting the total energy difference between reactants and products. Whether a reaction is fast or slow, exothermic or endothermic, the overall energy change remains unaffected by the activation energy. This understanding helps explain why certain reactions can be sped up without changing the total heat released or absorbed. If you're interested in how energy concepts influence chemical processes, this video is perfect for you.
