NEET 2025 Chemistry, question 65

Question 65 of the NEET 2025 paper (code 45) is a Chemistry question from Thermodynamics. Its idea, Reaction Enthalpy from Energy Profiles, was asked only this once in NEET 2017–2026. The NTA final answer key gives option 1.

Q65 · Chemistry

C(s)+2H2(g)→CH4(g)C(s) + 2H_2(g) \to CH_4(g); ΔH=−74.8\Delta H = -74.8 kJ mol−1^{-1}

Which of the following diagrams gives an accurate representation of the above reaction?

[R →\to reactants; P →\to products]

The figure, described in words

Four energy (kJ/mol) vs reaction progress profiles differing in whether P is below/above R and whether 74.8 spans R-P or peak-R.

  1. 1[energy profile: R higher, hump, P lower; 74.8 marked as the gap between R and P levels]Official answer
  2. 2[energy profile: R lower, hump, P higher; 74.8 marked from peak down to R level]
  3. 3[energy profile: R higher, hump, P lower; 74.8 marked from peak down to R level]
  4. 4[energy profile: R lower, hump, P higher; 74.8 marked as the gap between R and P levels]

Official answer: option 1 · NTA final answer key
