However, research has shown that approximately 20% of overweight individuals are successful at long-term weight loss when defined as losing at least 10% of initial body weight and maintaining the loss for at least 1 y.he National Weight Control Registry provides information about the strategies used by successful weight loss maintainers to achieve and maintain long-term weight loss. National Weight Control Registry members have lost an average of 33 kg and maintained the loss for more than 5 y.
Which definition best describes the term activation energy? Which definition best describes the term activation energy? a) the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom. b) the minimum kinetic energy that particles must possess for a chemical reaction to occur.
the activation energy is the difference between the reactants and the highest energy state of the reaction (the transition point) which is represented by b (note this is not the absolute energy of the transition point as d would indicate, but the difference between the highest energy state and the starting energy). And the heat of the reaction is the difference between what you start with and what you end up with which is indicated by c on the graph. One might argue that c and e represent the same energy, but there c represents the direction of the change to a higher potential energy state more accurately.
