A potential energy diagram is shown. A graph is plotted with Potential Energy in KJ on the y axis and Reaction Pathway on the x axis. The graph starts at 30 on the y axis and it is initially horizontal, labeled Reactants, and then rises up as a smooth curve and reaches its peak when y is 65 kilojoules. The curve comes down until y is 55 kilojoules where it becomes horizontal again, and it is labeled Products. What is the activation energy of this reaction? 10 kJ 25 kJ 30 kJ 35 kJ will mark brainlest

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

the answer is minerals.
