For exothermic reaction, the energy of activation of the reactants is

Question

For exothermic reaction, the energy of activation of the reactants is (A) equal to the energy of activation pf products (B) less than the energy of activation of products (C) greater than the energy of activation of products (D) sometimes greater and sometimes less than that of the products
