Question

in a reversible reaction the energy of activation of the forward reaction is 50 kcal .
the energy of activation for the reverse reaction will be
A. lt 50 kcal
B. 50 kcal
C. either greater tan or less than 50 kcal
D. gt 50 kcal

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
the activation energy of a reaverse reaction decide whetaher the given reaction is exothermic or endothmic so the energy of activation of reverse reaction is either greater or less than 50 kcal in case of exothermic reaction the activation energy for reverse reaction is more than activation energy of tah forward reaction and in case of endothermic reaction the activation energy for reverse reaction is less than activation energy of the forward reaction .
