AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5
Based on this energy profile, the reaction is:
Exothermic with positive Ea
Exothermic with no Ea
Endothermic with positive Ea
Spontaneous due to negative Ea
Explanation
The peak above reactants gives a positive Ea, but products lie below reactants so ΔH < 0 (exothermic).
