Given :
For a chemical reaction, the activation energy for the forward reaction is +181 kJ and the activation energy for the backward reaction is +62 kJ.
To Find :
The overall energy change for the forward reaction.
Solution :
The overall energy change for the forward reaction is :
[tex]\Delta E_f = E_f - E_b\\\\\Delta E_f = 181 - 62 \ Kj\\\\\Delta E_f = 119 \ Kj[/tex]
Therefore, the overall energy change for the forward reaction is 119 Kj.
