Activation energy is the energy required by reactants to undergo chemical reaction and given products
Every reactant has some internal energy (sum of all kind of energy like kinetic energy, potential energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy etc). It needs some extra energy to undergo chemical reaction which is activation energy
All kinds of reaction whether exothermic or endothermic needs activation energy
Threshold energy = internal energy + activation energy
Salinity has units of grams NaCl or salt per kilogram solution. We can use the density given and the molar mass of the salt to convert from salinity to molarity. We do as follows:
( 5.6 g / kg ) ( 1.03 kg / L ) ( 1 mol / 58.44 g ) = 0.0987 mol NaCl / L
