1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.
2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
For solving this we need a heat balance
By changing the corresponding relations, we have
By cancelling similar factor, we obtain
Which means that the change of temperature in A is twice the change of B
