The activation energy for a simple chemical reaction `A rarr B` is `E_(a)` in the forward reaction: The activation of the reverse reaction

A

is always double of `E_`

B

is negative of `E_(a)`

C

is always less than `E_(a)`

D

can be less than or more than `E_(a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The activation energy in exothermic and endothermic reactions will be more and less than `E_(a)` respectively.
