The activation energy of the reaction, a+b----> c+d+ 38kcal is 20kcal. What would be the activation energy of the reaction, c+d -----> a+b? |

Answer» Explanation: The forward reaction is: A+B -----> C+D C+D -----> A+B MEANS "go backwards", or in the reverse. So if you are down at products, you have to go all the WAY up to the top of the PEAK (this is your energy of activation...to take your reactants and get them to the activated STATE), then that distance (in energy) is 58kcal. Hope it helps you... |
