Free Energy of Activation

[Carolina Gomez 2G]

In the kinetics outline it states:
"Understand the difference between activation energy and free energy of activation."
What is the free energy of activation?

[Andrew Dao 3C]

I think it refers to Gibb's Free energy, though I might not be right.

[Pratika Nagpal]

Activation energy is the energy that needs to be provided to the system for the reaction to occur.

Free energy of activation refers to Gibbs Free energy.

[Sean Wang 1F]

Activation energy is the energy needed to start a reaction and free energy of activation is gibbs free energy.

[Fiona Huang 3C]

Free energy of activation is Gibbs free energy, which is the free energy difference between the transition state of a reaction and the ground state of the reactants.

[sophia kosturos 2B]

free energy of activation is just Gibbs free energy I believe!

[Taha 2D]

free energy is gibbs
activation energy is the energy required to start a reaction
