I can’t see the diagram you mean, so I can’t pick the letter for you. To identify the activation energy for the forward reaction:
- Find the energy of the reactants (starting level) and the energy at the transition state (the highest point on the curve).
- The forward activation energy Ea(forward) is the vertical energy difference from the reactants up to the peak (Ea = Etransition state − Ereactants).
- So choose the arrow that starts at the reactants’ energy level and points up to the top of the curve.
If you upload the diagram or tell me which arrow starts at the reactants and goes up to the peak, I’ll tell you which letter is correct.
