A compound can exist in two forms, P and Q. In the forward reaction, P changes into Q.
A student places only P in a sealed container. The container is kept at 20 °C until the amount of P no longer changes. The temperature is then changed twice. After each change, the amount of P is measured when it no longer changes.
| Temperature in °C | Amount of P in mol |
|---|---|
| 20 | 0.72 |
| 60 | 0.35 |
| 20 | 0.72 |
Use the results to explain what they show about the reaction and about the energy transfer in the forward reaction.
