For an endothermic reaction, where represent the enthalpy of reaction in , the minimum value for energy of activation (for forward reaction) will be

Options
- Aless than
- Bzero
- Cmore than
- Dequal to
Correct answer
C. more than
Step-by-step solution
We know that,
where, and activation energy for backward and forward respectively.
Thus,, means .
heat of reaction (endothermic)
energy of activation
Thus,
Heat is absorbed in an endothermic reaction. Thus, for an endothermic reaction, where represent the enthalpy of reaction in , the minimum value for energy of activation (for forward reaction) will be more than .
