Question

Consider figure and mark the correct option.

• A. Activation energy of forward reaction is $E_{1 }+ E_{2}$ and product is less stable than reactant.
• B. Activation energy of forward reaction is $E_{1 }+ E_{2}$ and product is more stable than reactant.
• C. Activation energy of both forward and backward reaction is $E_{1 }+ E_{2}$ and reactant is more stable than product.
• D. Activation energy of backward reaction is $E_{1}$ and product is more stable than reactant.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$E_{a\left(forward \, reaction\right)}$ $=E_{1}+E_{2}$ and product is less stable as it has higher energy.
