Why does every chemical reaction require a certain amount of activation energy

Every chemical reaction requires a minimum amount of energy to undergo reaction.

The total energy required is Threshold energy. The chemicals have some internal energy and they require some extra energy which is known as activation energy.

The reaction occurs when two molecules or atoms come closer to each other and for this they need kinetic energy.

Now for an effective collision the two molecules or atoms should collide with a minimum amount of energy so that they may undergo reaction so again they need some energy

These kinetic energy and energy for effective collision is actually called as activation energy.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
