The magnitude (size) of the energy of activation for the reverse reaction is exactly identical as it is for the forward reaction in an exothermic (or endothermic) process.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of activation for the reverse reaction is not exactly identical to the energy of activation for the forward reaction in an exothermic or endothermic process. They may be different due to factors like temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
