Energy converter, thermal activation potential

Figure 2.4. Reaction coordinate diagram for a simple chemical reaction. The reactant A is converted to product B. The R curve represents the potential energy surface of the reactant and the P curve the potential energy surface of the product. Thermal activation leads to an over-the-barrier process at transition state X. The vibrational states have been shown for the reactant A. As temperature increases, the higher energy vibrational states are occupied leading to increased penetration of the P curve below the classical transition state, and therefore increased tunnelling probability.
