Primes

• Activation Energy
  • A heavy object has inertia; the force required to start it moving is the activation energy for motion.

    This sourceCanonical physical-chemistry treatment of reaction kinetics: activation energy is the minimum energy barrier (energy difference between reactants and the activated complex/transition state) that distinguishes the measurable work to overcome resistance from passive inertia. SUPPORTS the inertia-vs-activation-energy distinction the marker sits on. NOTE: the original annotation described a 'rate-determining step' — corrected here to match the kinetics/barrier claim actually being cited.

• Bottleneck
  • Chemistry: The rate-limiting (rate-determining) step of a multi-step reaction mechanism fixes the overall reaction rate; speeding any other step leaves the observed rate unchanged, exactly as accelerating a non-bottleneck stage leaves throughput unchanged.

    This sourceStandard physical-chemistry text: the rate-determining (rate-limiting) step of a multi-step reaction mechanism fixes the overall reaction rate, so accelerating other steps leaves the observed rate essentially unchanged.

Domain-specific

• Isothermal Process
  • “Isothermal” fixes one state variable; it does not determine every other coordinate or transfer.

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
