The reaction NO_(2)Cl(g) +NO(g) ltimplies NO_(2)(g) + NOCl(g) is a single step reversible reaction. The energy of activation for the forward reaction is 28.9 kJ and that for the backward reaction is 41.8 kJ. Draw energy level diagram for the reaction. Indicate E_(a)f and E_(a)b and DeltaH in the diagram. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :As the energy of activation for the FORWARD reaction is LESS than the value for the backward reaction, this MEANS that the forward reaction is exothermic while the backward reaction is ENDOTHERMIC in nature. The various energy changes have been shown in the figure. | |
