For a reversible reaction , `XhArrY` , the activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions are 15 and `9"kJ.mol"^(-1)` respectively . The average energy of X is `10"kJ.mol"^(-1)` . Calculate :
the threshold energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Threshold energy = activation energy of forward reaction + average energy of the reactant molecules.
`=(15+10)"kJ.mol"^(-1)=25"kJ.mol"^(-1)`
