Homework #17

[Charlotte Norris 2K]

I'm not sure how to manipulate the delta H and activation energy of the forward reaction to find the activation energy of the reverse reaction. Could someone please explain.

[Ryan Thompson 2J]

If the delta H is given as well as the activation energy, the reverse reaction will have an activation energy that is the activation energy of the forward reaction minus the deltaH.

[Craig_Choi_2A]

Both formulas involve the E(reactants) so manipulate the formulas to get E(reactants) for both. Then set the remaining expressions equal to each other. From there you should be able to find E(products)-E(transition) to get Ea of the reverse reaction.

[Melody L Lehman 2C]

Ea(forward) - Ea(reverse) = ∆H

therefore,

Ea(reverse) = Ea(forward) - ∆H

Hi to find the activation energy of the reverse reaction you would use Ea -delta H

[705903057]

In a chemical reaction, the forward reaction involves breaking bonds in the reactants and forming new bonds to create products. The activation energy (Ea) represents the energy barrier that must be overcome for the reaction to occur.

To manipulate the delta H (enthalpy change) and activation energy of the forward reaction to find the activation energy of the reverse reaction, you can use the relationship between the forward and reverse reactions.

Ea(forward) - Ea(reverse) = ∆H

You can manipulate this equation.

for this problem all you have to do is subtract to find your answer. Ea(forward- Ea(reverse) Delta H
