    1) The activation energy of a reaction is the minimum energy that reactant molecules must possess for a reaction to occur. 2) For the sucrose inversion reaction, which follows first-order kinetics, it would take 123 minutes for 50% of 1 kg of sucrose to react based on the given rate constant of 3.55 × 10-3 min-1. 3) The rate equation for the A + B → C reaction is first-order with respect to both A and B, as the rate is directly proportional to the concentrations of both reactants.
