    The reaction \[A+B\to C+D+40\,kJ\]has an .activation energy of 18 kJ. Then the activation   energy   for   the   reaction\[C+D\to A+B\] is

    A)  58 kJ           

    B) \[~-\text{ }40\text{ }kJ\]

    C) \[~-\text{ }18\text{ }kJ\]         

    D) \[~22\text{ }kJ\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[A+B\xrightarrow{{}}C+D+40\,kJ\] \[\because \] Activation energy for the forward reaction, \[A+B\xrightarrow{{}}C+D=18\,kJ\] \[\therefore \] Activation energy for the reverse reaction, \[C+D\xrightarrow{{}}A+B=40+18=58\,kJ\]
