The reaction between H2(g) and O2(g) is highly feasible yet allowing the gases to stand at room temperature in the same vessel does not lead to the formation of water. Explain.

The reaction's activation energy is relatively high at room temperature and not readily available, the reaction is highly viable. H2 (g) and O2 (g)bond break and clash, allowing particles to pass across the energy barrier.
2H2 + O2→2H2O
Because of the large activation energy, the water molecule does not form in this equation.

Reaction rate is used to measure how fast or slow reactions occur per unit time. The rate constant is a proportionality factor that remains constant for every reaction.
Yes, in elementary reactions, order and molecularity can be the same, but this is not always the case because order is an experimental quantity, and molecularity is a theoretical concept.
Reaction Kinetics, also known as chemical kinetics, is the study of the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting the reaction rate, such as temperature, concentration, and catalyst.
