Answer:
c
Explanation:
the rate of a forward process must be exactly balanced by the rate of the reverse process.
In a chemical reaction, the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the heat of the reaction<span>. This is, the net energy released or absorbed (change) during a chemical reaction is the sum of the potential energy of the products less the sum of the potential energy of the reactants.</span>
Explanation:
The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the amount of energy that must be added to go from the energy level of the reactants to the energy level of transition state.
First, let's remember the concepts of spontaneous and nonspontaneous reaction:
A spontaneous reaction is a reaction that favors the formation of products at the conditions under which the reaction is occurring. This would be called an exothermic reaction, it releases energy.
A nonspontaneous reaction is a reaction that does not favor the formation of products at the given set of conditions. In order for a reaction to be nonspontaneous, it must be endothermic, accompanied by a decrease in entropy, or both.
In this case, when the reaction takes place, the temperature of the system increases which means that heat is released and heat is a form of energy. Energy is released.
The answer based on this logic would be D.
