Consider the reaction C → D with the following data: Energy of reactants = 30 kJ/mole;
Energy of products = 20 kJ/mole;
Energy of transition state = 60 kJ/mole.
The reaction is ________, has a heat of reaction of ________kJ/mole, and the energy of activation is ________ kJ/mole.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is exothermic because the energy of the products (20 kJ/mole) is less than the energy of the reactants (30 kJ/mole). The heat of reaction is calculated by subtracting the energy of the products from the energy of the reactants: 30 kJ/mole - 20 kJ/mole = -10 kJ/mole. The energy of activation is given as 60 kJ/mole.
