A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has
Options
- AS=0
- BG=0
- CH=0
- DH= G= S=0
Correct answer
C. H=0
Step-by-step solution
Energy profile diagram for a reaction is as From the figure, it is clear that So, ( (E₂ )_b= (E₂ )_f+ H ( . ) as, ( (E₂ )_b= (E₂ )_f ) So, ( H=0 ). [Here (E₂ )_b= activation energy of backward reaction and (E₂ )_f= activation energy of forward reaction].
