For a reversible& reaction, A⇌BA ⇌ B,& which one of the following statement is wrong from the given energy& profile diagram?

For a reversible& reaction, A ⇌ B ,& which one of the following statement is wrong from the given energy& profile

Options

  1. AActivation energy of forward reaction is greater than backward reaction
  2. BThe forward reaction is endothermic
  3. CThe threshold energy is less than that of activation energy
  4. DThe energy of activation of forward reaction is equal to the sum of heat of reaction and the energy of activation of backward reaction

Correct answer

C. The threshold energy is less than that of activation energy

Step-by-step solution

For a reversible& reaction, A ⇌ B ,& which one of the following statement is wrong from the given energy& profile

where, Ea={E}_{a} = activation energy of forward reaction

Ea′={E}_a^{'} = activation energy of backward reaction

The above energy profile diagram shows that Ea>Ea′{E}_{a} > {Ea}^{'}

The potential energy of the product is greater than that of the reactant, so the reaction is endothermic.

Ea=Ea′+ΔE{E}_{a} = {E}_a^{'} + \Delta E

Et=Ea{E}_{t} = {E}_{a} or Et>Ea′{E}_{t} > {Ea}^{'}
