Explain why a spontaneous chemical reaction is sometimes una

Explain why a spontaneous chemical reaction is sometimes unable to proceed in an uncatalyzed reaction and explain how an enzyme is capable to enable this reaction to occur.

Solution

Answer: In order for a chemical reaction to proceed, the reactants must react and cross the barrier of the activation energy and form product/s. Sometimes the spontaneous reactions have the free energy to initiate but it is not the to the extent that it will overcome the barrier of activation energy and hence are unable to proceed. However the biological catalysts/biocatalyst/enzymes decrease the activation energy and the same reaction occurs at an appreciable velocity.
