Consider figure and mark the correct option:
A
Activation energy of forward reaction is 
and product is less stable than reactant.
and product is less stable than reactant.
B
Activation energy of forward reaction is 
and product is more stable than reactant.
and product is more stable than reactant.
C
Activation energy of both forward and backward reaction is 
and reactant is more stable than product.
and reactant is more stable than product.
D
Activation energy of backward reaction is 
and product is more stable than reactant.
and product is more stable than reactant.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Activation energy is the minimum energy required to convert reactant molecules to product
molecules. Here, the energy gap between reactants and activated complex is sum of 
and 
.
Activation energy 
Product is less stable than reactant as energy of product is greater than the reactant.
