For 10 points, name this quantity, denoted E-sub-A, the energy that must be overcome for a chemical reaction to take place.
This quantity is the numerator of the exponential term of Black's equation, and its value can be determined by finding the slope of a graph plotting the log of the rate constant against the reciprocal of temperature. This quantity is divided by the gas constant and temperature in the(*) Arrhenius Equation. On a reaction coordinate diagram, this quantity is the difference between the starting point and the highest point, and catalysts lower it.
