Question

In a reversible reaction, the enthalpy change and the activation energy in the forward direction are respectively x kJ mol1 and y kJ mol1. Therefore, the energy of activation in the backward direction, in kJ mol1 is:
  1. (yx)
  2. (x+y)
  3. (xy)
  4. (x+y)

A
(xy)
B
(x+y)
C
(yx)
D
(x+y)
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is A (yx)
In case of exothermic reaction,

Ea(back)=Ea(forward)+H

=yx.
