For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$,the activation energies for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. In the presence of a catalyst,the activation energy for both (forward and backward) reactions decreases by $100 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. What will be the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ for the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB)$ in the presence of a catalyst in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$?

  • A
    $300$
  • B
    $120$
  • C
    $280$
  • D
