Question

For the reaction, A → B, is an exothermic reaction. The value of activation energy is 50 kJ/mol. Draw an energy vs. reaction path diagram for the above reaction and calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction B to A when the reaction enthalpy corresponds to 12 kJ.

Answer 1

An energy diagram can be defined as a diagram showing the relative potential energies of reactants, transition states, and products as a reaction progresses with time.
