Activation Energy
The minimum amount of energy is requires to start the reaction is known as activation energy.
Arrhenius law
$$\mathrm {k =k_{o}e^{\frac{-E}{RT}}}$$
where,
$\mathrm k=$ rate constant
$\mathrm k_{o} =$ Pre exponential factor
$\mathrm{E} =$ Activation energy, J/mol or cal/mol
$\mathrm R=$ gas constant
$\mathrm T=$ absolute temperature, $\mathrm{K}$ …
