ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. It took the Mg ribbon longer time to
light because of its high activation
energy. According to Arrhenius, if
molecules are moving too slowly, with
too little kinetic energy, they merely
bounce off one another without
changing. To react, the molecules
must have a total kinetic energy
equal to or greater than some
minimum
value
which
is
the
activation energy. In this case, Mg is
in its solid state giving it a small
amount of kinetic energy. The heat
from the barbecue lighter provided
the Magnesium atoms energy to be
capable to react. But due to the high
