Answer:

The energy required to form transition state from the ground state of one mole of substrate molecules is termed activation energy.

Explanation:

The substrate of a reaction is first transformed into a high energy state, the transition state which is then converted into the final product. The energy required to convert the one mole of substrate molecules into the transition state is termed activation energy. Activation energy serves as an energy barrier for a reaction. The enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction by lowering down the activation energy.

Since we cannot see magnetic forces, what do scientists and engineers use to show them on a magnetic model?

Reika [66]

You can use a plotting compass or iron filings to detect a magnetic field:

1.put a piece of paper over a magnet (this stops the iron filings sticking to the magnet)

2. sprinkle iron filings onto the paper

3.gently tap the paper to spread the filings out

4.observe and record the results
