Problem

Two different elementary reactions have the following energies (all values relative to their own reactants): Reaction I: transition state

80\,\text{kJ}

, products

-20\,\text{kJ}

Reaction II: transition state

65\,\text{kJ}

, products

+10\,\text{kJ}

Which reaction has the larger overall energy change in magnitude

|\Delta E|

? State the value for that reaction.
