In the above figure potential energy diagram for the reaction A 2 + B 2 → 2AB is shown. The dotted line curve is the path in the presence of a catalyst.
(i) What is the enthalpy of the reaction A 2 + B 2 → 2AB
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
30
(i)
Sol. Δ H =
–
= 30 – 40 = – 10 kJ
(ii)
Sol. 30 kJ/mol and 40 kJ/mol
(iii)
Sol.
in the presence of catalyst = 10 kJ/mol.
(iv)
Sol. Catalyst lowers the activation energies of both forward and backward reaction at the extent of 20 kJ/mol.
