Question

Consider an endothermic reaction, X -> Y with the activation energies Eb and Ef for the backward and forward reactions, respectively. In general
(1) Eb < Ef
(2) Eb > Ef
(3) Eb = Ef

Answer 1

(4) There is no definite relation between Eb and Ef

Answer 2

how

Answer 3

i think first is the answer
as Δ H= Ef-Eb and for endothermic rection Δ H>0 ∴ Ef>Eb which is the first choice

Answer 4

a actually since reaction is endothermic

Answer 5

explain pleasee

Answer 6

You just explained it;

Answer 7

ok so my solution is alright or any mistakes to be taken care of ?

Answer 8

nope, it's perfect

Answer 9

ok thanks then
