Consider an endothermic reaction X \longrightarrowY with the activation energies Eb and Ef for the backward and forward reaction, respectively. In general

A

Eb< Ef

B

DH = DU

C

DH < DU

D

DH > DU

Answer

Eb< Ef

Explanation

Solution

For endothermic reaction, DH = ve

DH = E¦ – Eb, it means Eb < E¦.
