If hydrogen and oxygen are mixed and kept in the same vessel at room temperature, the reaction does not take place to form water because
- activation energy for the reaction is very high at room temperature
- molecules have no proper orientation to react to form water
- the frequency of collisions is not high enough for the reaction to take place
- no catalyst is present in the reaction mixture.
Answer
(A) activation energy for the reaction is very high at room temperature
