The heat needed for chemical reaction to take place is called a. heat of reaction b. activation energy c. friction

The heat needed for a chemical reaction to take place is called activation energy. The correct answer is b. Activation energy is also referred to as the minimum amount of energy needed to jump start a chemical reaction. A reaction requiring a large amount of energy to be triggered is said to have a high activation energy while a smaller amount is said to have low activation energy.

This would be a true statement
