Look at the energy curve for butane and oxygen combining to form CO2 and H2O.
Which statement about this reaction is not correct?
| A. The reverse reaction is nonspontaneous. | |
| B. The reverse reaction cannot occur. | |
| C. Butane and oxygen have a greater potential energy than CO2 and H20 D. The forward spontaneous reaction occurs once the activation energy is provided. | |
Solution
B. Reverse reaction cannot occur.
because reverse reaction is non spontaneous but can occur once we provide sufficient activation energy
