Answer:
e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.
Explanation:
- Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
- An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
- <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.
The number of neon moles that occupy a volume of 14.3 l at STP is calculated as follows
At STP 1 mole = 22.4 liters
what about 14.3 liters
by cross multiplication
= (1 mole x 14.3 l)/22.4 l =0.638 moles of neon
