Options

  1. Aless than ΔH\Delta H
  2. Bzero
  3. Cmore than ΔH\Delta H
  4. Dequal to ΔH\Delta H

Correct answer

C. more than ΔH\Delta H

Step-by-step solution

We know that, ΔH=Ef−Eb\Delta H = {E}_{f} - {E}_{b}

where, Eb{E}_{b} and Ef={E}_{f} = activation energy for backward and forward respectively.

Thus,Ef=ΔH+Eb{E}_{f} = \Delta H + {E}_{b}, means Ef>ΔH{E}_{f} > \Delta H.

For an endothermic reaction, where Δ H represent the enthalpy of reaction in kJ mol ^ - 1 , the minimum value for

ΔH=\Delta H = heat of reaction (endothermic)

Ea={E}_{a} = energy of activation

Thus, Ea>ΔH{E}_{a} > \Delta H

Heat is absorbed in an endothermic reaction. Thus, for an endothermic reaction, where ΔH\Delta H represent the enthalpy of reaction in kJmol−1kJ{mol}^{- 1}, the minimum value for energy of activation (for forward reaction) will be more than ΔH\Delta H.
