Ea = 40 kJ/mol;E = -20 kJ/mol    
Ea = 80 kJ/mol;E = 60 kJ/mol
Ea = 60 kJ/mol;E = -40 kJ/mol





(b) Which of the following reactions would be slowest in the forward direction?


Ea = 30 kJ/mol; E = -10 kJ/mol
Ea = 40 kJ/mol; E = -20 kJ/mol    
Ea = 80 kJ/mol; E = 60 kJ/mol
Ea = 60 kJ/mol; E = -40 kJ/mol





(c) Which of the following reactions would be fastest in the reverse direction?


Ea = 30 kJ/mol; E = -10 kJ/mol
Ea = 40 kJ/mol; E = -20 kJ/mol    
Ea = 80 kJ/mol; E = 60 kJ/mol
Ea = 60 kJ/mol; E = -40 kJ/mol
