Explanation
When sugar is stirred with a spoon in a glass of water, more sugar is dissolved and faster. Why?
The rate determining step is the slowest step of a chemical reaction that determines the speed (rate) at which the overall reaction proceeds. The rate determining step can be compared to the neck of a funnel. In above above plot step $$A$$ is rate determining step.
In reverse reaction, reaction starts from G so it can be seen clearly that most of activation energy is needed from product E to D
For a reaction to occur,
$$(i)$$ The two molecules must collide with proper orientation.
$$(ii)$$ They should have high kinetic energy.
$$(iii)$$ The temperature should be high.
$$(iv)$$ But the state of matter does not have any effect on the reaction.
The states of matter molecules do not affect the rate of reaction.
