JEE Main2005ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Consider an endothermic reaction, X Y with the activation energies E_b and E_f for the backward and forward reactions, respectively. In general
Options
- AE _ b < E _ f
- BE_b>E_f
- CE_b=E_f
- DThere is no definite relation between E_b and E_f
Correct answer
A. E _ b < E _ f
Step-by-step solution
H = E _ f - E _ b For H= Positive, E_b < E_f
