Chemical Kinetics Question 77

Consider an endothermic reaction $ X\to Y $ with the activation energies $ E_{f} $ and $ E_{b} $ for the forward and backward reactions, respectively, in general [AIEEE 2005]

Options:

A) $ E_{b}<E_{f} $

B) $ E_{b}>E_{f} $

C) $ E_{b}=E_{f} $

D) There is no definite relation between $ E_{b} $ and $ E_{f} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

For endothermic reaction ΔH = +ve Then from equation $ \Delta H={E_{{a_{F.R.}}}}-{E_{{a_{B.R.}}}};{E_{B.R.}}<{E_{F.R.}} $
