Q. In homogeneous catalytic reactions, there are three alternative paths $A , B$ and $C$ (shown in the figure). Which one of the following indicates the relative case with which the reaction can take place?Chemistry Question Image

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

Activation energy in the different paths lies in the following sequence: $C< B< A$.
The lesser is the activation energy, the greater is the ease with which the reaction can take place.
$\therefore C > B > A$ (Deceasing case with which the reaction can take place.)
