A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has

Options

A $\Delta S=0$
B $\Delta G=0$
C $\Delta H=0$
D $\Delta H=\Delta G=\Delta S=0$

Correct answer

C. $\Delta H=0$

Step-by-step solution

Energy profile diagram for a reaction is as From the figure, it is clear that A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has

So, (

\left(E_2\right)_b=\left(E_2\right)_f+\Delta H\left(\right.) as, (\left(E_2\right)_b=\left(E_2\right)_f) So, (\Delta H=0). [Here

\left(E_2\right)_b=

activation energy of backward reaction and \left(E_2\right)_f=

activation energy of forward reaction].
