Question

The activation energy for some reaction

X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g)\mathrm{X}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{Y}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{XY}(g)

is 167 kJ/mol, and ΔE\Delta E for the reaction is 128 kJ/mol. What is the activation energy for the decomposition of XY?

Step 1
1 of 3

Ea(decomp)=Ea(comp)ΔEE_a(decomp)=E_a(comp)-\Delta E

The EaE_a of decomposition is equal to the sum of EaE_a of composition minus the change in energy (ΔE\Delta E)
