Concept introduction:
An activated complex is formed as a result of collision between two particles with a sufficient amount of energy required for the collision. When the colliding particles break their bonds to form new bonds with the atoms of the particles it has undergo collision, a temporary transition state is generated which is an activated complex.
An endothermic reaction is marked by the absorbed of energy and an endothermic reaction is marked by the release of energy.
Answer to Problem 46A
In the reaction,
Explanation of Solution
The reaction,
In case of the reverse reaction,
By this, it can be said that the activation energy of exothermic reaction is lower than that of endothermic reaction.
The reaction
