**Title: Understanding Potential Energy Diagrams in Chemical Reactions****Potential Energy Diagram for the Decomposition of Nitrous Oxide:****Chemical Equation:**\[ \text{N}_2\text{O (g)} \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{(g)} + \text{O(g)} \]In this decomposition reaction, nitrous oxide (\( \text{N}_2\text{O} \)) breaks down into nitrogen (\( \text{N}_2 \)) and oxygen (\( \text{O} \)) gases.**Activation Energy:**- The activation energy for the forward reaction is 269 kJ.- The change in enthalpy (\( \Delta H^\circ \)) for the reaction is +167 kJ. To find the activation energy for the reverse reaction, use the relationship:\[ \text{Activation Energy (reverse)} = \text{Activation Energy (forward)} - \Delta H^\circ \]**Calculation:**\[ \text{Activation Energy (reverse)} = 269 \, \text{kJ} - 167 \, \text{kJ} = 102 \, \text{kJ} \]Therefore, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is 102 kJ.**Educational Insight:**Potential energy diagrams provide a visual representation of the energy changes during a chemical reaction. The peaks represent the activation energy needed to initiate the reaction, while the difference in energy between reactants and products represents the enthalpy change (\( \Delta H \)). Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing reaction dynamics and kinetics in chemistry.
