A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.
Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).
For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.
Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:
Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn
=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol
Answer: 47 kJ/mol
What your question for number 3
Mn₂O
Explanation:
The oxide that will most likely form colored solutions is Mn₂O.
This is because most transition metals form colored compounds. Manganese is a transition metal belonging to the d-block on the periodic table.
- Other examples of transition metals are scandium, titanium, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc
- They belong to the d-block on the periodic table.
- They have variable oxidation states.
- Most of their solutions are always colored.
