Which of the following is true for an exothermic reaction A hArr B if E, and E_(b) are the activation enegries of formard and backward reactions respectively?

(A) The addition of catalyst lowers the activation barrier, yet there is no change in the enthalpy of reaction. (R ) Enthalpy change is equal to the difference in the activation energy for the forward and the backward reactions.

Activation energy depends on

Consider an endothermic reaction XtoY with the activation energies E_(b) and E_(f) for the backward and forward reactions, respectively. In general

The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for A_(2)+B_(2)to2AB are 280kJ"mol"^(-1) and 400kJ"mol"^(-1) respectively. The presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy of both forward as well as reverse reactions by 100KJ"mol"^(-1) . The enthalpy change of the reaction A_(2)+B_(20to2AB in the presence of catalyst will be (in KJ "mol"^(-1) )

Assertion (A) : Introduction of catalyst does not affect position of equlibrium. Reason (R) : For a reversible reaction, presence of a catalyst influences both forward & backward reaction reacts to same extent.

If the activation energy for the forward reaction is 150kJ mol^(-1) and that of the reverse reaction is 260kJ mol^(-1) . What is the enthalpy change for the reaction
