The activation energies of the forward and reverse reaction in the case of a chemical reaction are `30.5` and `45.4 kJ//mol` respectively. The reaction is:A. ExothermicB. EndothermicC. Neither exothermic nor endothermicD. Independent of temperature

Answer» Correct Answer - a
`E_(a_(FR))=DeltaH+E_(a_(BR))`,
`:. 30.5=DeltaH+45.4`
`:. DeltaH=-14.9 kJ mol^(-1)`, i.e., exothermic.
