For the equilibrium, A(g)⇌B(g),△H is −40 kJ/mol. If the ratio of the activation energies of the forward (Ef) and reverse (Eb) reactions is 2/3 then:
If a reaction, A+B→C is exothermic to the extent of 30 kJ/mol and the forward reaction has an activation energy 70 kJ/mol, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is (in kJ/mol):
If Ef and Eb are the activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions and the reaction is known to be exothermic, then:
