A) \[{{E}_{a}}>E_{a}^{'}\]
B) \[{{E}_{a}}=E_{a}^{'}\]
C) \[{{E}_{a}}<E_{a}^{'}\]
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
If the potential energy of the products is greater than that of the reactants, the energy released in going from the activated complex to products will be less than the activation energy and reaction will be endothermic. \[A+B\xrightarrow{{{E}_{a}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} activated \\ \,\,complex \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{[AB]}}\,\xrightarrow{E'a}P\] \[{{E}_{a}}>E_{a}^{'}\]
