Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 5

Question: A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has

Options:

A) $ \Delta S=0 $

B) $ \Delta G=0 $

C) $ \Delta H=0 $

D) $ \Delta H=\Delta G=\Delta S=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has $ \Delta H=0 $. The enthalpy change for a reaction is the difference in the energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions. When energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions are equal, the difference is zero.
