Q27 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (09 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

Consider the given plot of enthalpy of the following reaction between A and B.
A+B→C+D. Identify the incorrect statement.
Figure

  • A
    Formation of A and B from C has highest enthalpy of activation.
  • B
    D is kinetically stable product.
  • C
    C is the thermodynamically stable product.
  • Correct answer
    D
    Activation enthalpy to form C is 5 kJ mol-1 less than that to form D.

Solution

A+B→C+D
Figure
Activation enthalpy for C=20-0=20 kJ/mol
Activation enthalpy for D=15-5=10 kJ/mol

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
