Question
In a reaction, the ΔΗ of the reaction was (100 KJ), When a catalyst was used, the activation energy of the reaction decreased by 40 KJ, if the activation energy of forward without catalyst was 280, so the activation energy of the reverse catalytic reaction was…………...
Solution
To find the activation energy of the reverse catalytic reaction, we can use the fact that the activation energy of the forward reaction without a catalyst is 280 KJ and the activation energy of the reaction with the catalyst is decreased by 40 KJ.
The activation energy of the reverse reaction can be determined by subtracting the decrease in activation energy caused by the catalyst from the activation energy of the forward reaction without the catalyst.
So, the activation energy of the reverse catalytic reaction is 280 KJ - 40 KJ = 240 KJ.
