For a hypothetic reaction \[A\to B\], the activation energies for forward and backward reactions are 19 kJ/mole and 9 kJ/mole respectively. The heat of reaction is [CBSE PMT 2000]
A) 28 kJ
B) 19 kJ
C) 10 kJ
D) 9 kJ
Correct Answer:
C
Solution :
\[\Delta H={{E}_{a}}\] for forward reaction \[-{{E}_{a}}\] for backward reaction \[=19-9=10\,kJ\].
