Chemical Kinetics Question 32
Question: For an endothermic reaction, where $ \Delta H $ represents the enthalpy of the reaction in $ kJ/mol $ , the minimum value for the energy of activation will be [IIT 1992]
Options:
A) Less than $ \Delta H $
B) Zero
C) More than $ \Delta H $
D) Equal to $ \Delta H $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
For a reaction $ E_{a} $ for forward reaction $ =E_{a} $ for backward reaction + $ \Delta H $ .
