An endothermic reaction, A B has an activation energy as x ~kJ / mol . If the energy change of the reaction is y ~kJ , the activation energy of the reverse reaction is
Options
- A-x
- Bx-y
- Cx+y
- Dy-x
Correct answer
B. x-y
Step-by-step solution
Consider the following graph, From the above graph aligned x &=y+E_ a, b E_ a, b &=x-y ~kJ aligned
