For an endothermic reaction, `Delta H` represents the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ `mol^(-1)`. The mininum amount of activation energy will be

A

Less than `DeltaH`

B

zero

C

more than `DeltaH`

D

equal to `DeltaH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`DeltaH` = heat of reaction (endothermic)
`E_(a)` = energy of activationi
Thus, `E_(a) gt DeltaH`
