For a reaction, A B, enthalpy of reaction is 4.2 kJ mol1 and enthalpy of activation is 9.6 kJ mol1. The correct potential energy profile for the reaction is shown in option.
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
The enthalpy of reaction is negative,
– 4.2 kJ mol−1
. The reaction is an
exothermic reaction i.e. the energy of
product B, is less than the energy of
reactant A. So, the potential energy
profile for the reaction is
