<u>Answer:</u> The activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

N_2O_5\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2

We are given:

Activation energy of the above reaction (forward reaction) = 102 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

As, the enthalpy of the reaction is positive, the reaction is said to be endothermic in nature.

To calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction, we use the equation:

E_a_{\text{(forward)}}=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+|\Delta H|

where,

E_a_{\text{(forward)}} = Activation energy of the forward reaction = 102 kJ/mol

E_a_{\text{(backward)}} = Activation energy of the backward reaction = ?

\Delta H = Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

102=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+55\\\\E_a_{\text{(backward)}}=(102-55)=+47kJ/mol

Hence, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol
