graph can be found here http://brainly.com/question/71237 a) Does the graph represent an endothermic or exothermic reaction? b) Determine the heat of reaction, ∆H, for this reaction. c) Determine the activation energy, Ea, for this reaction. (Points : 6)
I think its an endothermic graph but I don't know how to find b or c help would be greatly appreciated just explain it and show me how to do it
Heat of the reaction is the difference between the energy of reactants and the products. A+B are the reactants and C+D are the products. So locate and subtract their energies.
Activation energy is the energy of the transition state minus energy of the reactants. Transition state is at the peak of the curve.
Also, this is a curve for an exothermic reaction. Because the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.
