An endothermic reaction \(A\rightarrow B\) has an activation energy of 13 kJ mol\(^{-1}\) and the enthalpy change for the reaction is 2 kJ mol\(^{-1}\). The activation energy of the reaction \(B\rightarrow A\) is
Show Hint
For endothermic reactions, forward activation energy is greater than backward activation energy.
