consider the following reactions
O+N2->NO+N Ea=315kj/mol
Cl+H2->HCl+H Ea=23kj/mol
Why is the activation energy for one much lower that the other.
The frequency factor is very close in value for the two. Assume they are the same compute the ratio of the reaction constants for these to reactions at 25'c

1. Because a N2 bond takes much more energy to break because it is a triple bond whereas H2 bond is relatively easy to break
2. use the Arhenius equation to obtain a ratio of 0.3078
