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 :
[a] 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 |
