If the reaction were reversible,would the forward or the reverse reaction have a higher activation energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a reversible reaction, the direction with the higher activation energy depends on the relative energies of the reactants and products. If the products are at a lower energy level than the reactants, the reverse reaction (going from products back to reactants) would require more energy to overcome the energy difference, thus having a higher activation energy.
