Consider the given figure and mark the correct option.
Options
- AActivation energy of forward reaction is E 1 + E 2 and product is less stable than reactant.
- BActivation energy of forward reaction is E 1 + E 2 and product is more stable than reactant.
- CActivation energy of both forward and backward reaction is E 1 + E 2 and reactant is more stable than product.
- DActivation energy of backward reaction is E 1 and product is more stable than reactant.
Correct answer
A. Activation energy of forward reaction is E 1 + E 2 and product is less stable than reactant.
Step-by-step solution
The excess energy given to the reactant molecules to raise their energy level to the level of threshold energy is called activation energy. From this graph, it can be observed that the activation energy of the forward reaction is E 1 + E 2 and the product is less stable than the reactant due to high energy.
