The activation energies of the forward and backward reactions in the case of a chemical reaction are $30.5$ and $45.4 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ respectively. The reaction is :
  1. exothermic
  2. endothermic
  3. neither exothermic nor endothermic
  4. independent of temperature

Solution

Exothermic because of activation energy $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{b}}>\mathrm{E}_{f}$ /
