NEETChemistryChemical Kinetics
Assertion : For exothermic reaction, ( H = E _ a ) (forward) (- E _ a ) (backward). Reason : The value of activation energy for forward direction is less than activation energy for backward reaction.
Options
- AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
- BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
- CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
- DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).
Correct answer
A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
Step-by-step solution
( aligned & H=E_a (forward) -E_a (backward) < 0 & [E_a < E_b ] & [ H=-v e exothermic reaction] aligned )
