When the activation energies of the forward and backward reactions are equal, then :

A

It is an exothermic process

B

It is an endothermic process

C

It is reaction for which `DeltaH = 0`

D

It is a sublimation process

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Activation energy forward reaction is greater than that of backward reaction. Hence the reaction is endothermic
