  • question_answer
                      The activation energy for a simple chemical reaction A \[\to \] B is \[{{E}_{a}}\] in forward direction. The activation energy for reverse reaction:                                                                                                                                         

    A)                 can be less than or more than \[{{E}_{a}}\]                               

    B)                 is always double of \[{{E}_{a}}\]

    C)                 is negative of \[{{E}_{a}}\]                                                    

    D)                 is always less than \[{{E}_{a}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The energy of activation of reverse reaction is less than or more than \[{{E}_{a}}\].                 Energy of activation of forward reaction.                 \[\therefore \Delta H={{({{E}_{a}})}_{F}}-{{({{E}_{a}})}_{R}}\]                 Because it depends upon the nature of reaction.                 If \[{{({{E}_{a}})}_{F}}>{{({{E}_{a}})}_{R}}\therefore \] reaction is endothermic                 or \[{{({{E}_{a}})}_{F}}<{{({{E}_{a}})}_{R}}\therefore \] reaction is exothermic
