QJEEM07Ch42cf: JEE Main 2007 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM07Ch42cf Solution: The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions…

The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for A₂ + B₂ $$\leftrightharpoons$$ 2AB are 180 kJ mol⁻¹ and 200 kJ mol⁻¹ respectively. The presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by 100 kJ mol⁻¹. The enthalpy change of the reaction ( A₂ + B₂ $$\to$$ 2AB) in the presence of catalyst will be (in kJ mol⁻¹)
