N ₂+3 H ₂ 2 NH ₃ ;+22 kcal The activation energy for the forward reaction is 50 kcal . What is the activation energy for the backword reaction?
Options
- A-72 kcal
- B-28 kcal
- C+28 kcal
- D+72 kcal
Correct answer
D. +72 kcal
Step-by-step solution
N ₂(g)+3 H ₂(g) 2 NH ₃(g) ;+22 kcal The activation energy for the forward reaction =50 kcal The activation energy for the backward reaction =50+22=72 kcal
