For an endothermic reaction, energy of activation is `E_a` and enthalpy of reaction is `DeltaH` (both of these in kJ/mol). Minimum value of E will be

A

Equal to zero

B

Less than `DeltaH`

C

Equal to `DeltaH`

D

More than `DeltaH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Minimum value of activation energy must be more than the energy required to move the reaction in forward direction `E_(a) gt DeltaH`.
