Which statement is NOT correct?
A. In an endothermic reaction, the activation energy is usually greater than the change in enthalpy.
B. An activated complex has higher energy than any molecule contributing to it.
C. Activation energy is the same in the forward and reverse direction.
D. If the forward reaction is endothermic, the reverse reaction will be exothermic.
E. The activated complex will be the highest on the reaction energy diagram.
The extra energy required to reactant to change in product is known as activation energy .
Option C is right choice .
Activation energy would not be same for forward and backward reaction
