Chemical Thermodynamics Question 366
For an endothermic reaction, where $ \Delta H $ represents the enthalpy of the reaction, the minimum value for the energy of activation is zero
Options:
A) less than $ \Delta H^\circ $
B) 0
C) more than $ \Delta H $
D) equal to $ \Delta H $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
