The following gas-phase elementary reaction:
CH4(g) + F•(g) = HF(g) + CH3•(g)
has an activation energy (Ef) equal to 5.1 kJ mol−1 and for the methyl radical dHf(298 K) = 145.7 kJ mol−1
the enthalpy of formation of HF is -271.1 kJ mol−1
calculate the activation energy for the reverse of this reaction (Er)
answer choices are: 134.7, -5.1, 284.3, 55.7, -124.5 kJ mol−1
my attempt:
Adding the methyl radical and HF = -125.4 kJ mol−1
ANSWER= 5.1+125.4= 130.5 have done something wrong? thx for your help
