Chemical Kinetics Question 16
Question: The activation energy for a simple chemical reaction $ A\to B $ is $ E_{a} $ in forward direction. The activation energy for reverse reaction [CBSE PMT 2003]
Options:
A) Is always double of $ E_{a} $
B) Is negative of $ E_{a} $
C) Is always less than $ E_{a} $
D) Can be less than or more than $ E_{a} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
In exothermic and endothermic reactions will be more and less than $ E_{a} $ respectively.
