Arrhenius equation
How is Enthalpy or delta H related to Activation energy, Ea in the Arrhenius equation?

Re: Arrhenius equation
I don't think they are related. Delta H is a state function that just refers the the final and initial enthalpy values. The activation energy in the Arrhenius equation has to do with the pathway of the reaction.

Re: Arrhenius equation
Activation energy is the delta G value between a reactant and a transition state. So you could say that the delta G for the overall reaction = delta H of the reaction - T*(delta S of the reaction). But otherwise, there isn't an equation which relates the activation energy and delta H. :)
