Primes¶
- Activation Energy
- A core function of "activation energy", as Laidler (1987) emphasizes throughout his canonical chemical-kinetics text, is to distinguish between thermodynamic inevitability (a reaction is favorable, an innovation is beneficial, a social change is desirable) and kinetic feasibility (it happens at an observable speed in a usable timeframe).
This sourceHarper & Row. Standard chemical-kinetics textbook: develops the canonical distinction between thermodynamic favorability (ΔG) and kinetic feasibility (Ea). SUPPORTS the clarity-section claim that activation energy distinguishes thermodynamic inevitability from kinetic feasibility.

Domain-specific¶
- Kinetics
- A reaction can be thermodynamically strongly favored and kinetically inaccessible — hydrogen and oxygen coexist indefinitely at room temperature despite the enormous negative free energy of water
This sourceLaidler's Chemical Kinetics, stating that a stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen mixture at room temperature reacts so slowly that no change can be detected.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
