- Draw an energy diagram for a reaction in which the products are higher in energy than the starting materials and Ea is large. Clearly label all of the following on the diagram: the axes, the starting materials, the products, the transition state, ΔHo, and Ea.arrow_forward(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.The slowest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.Catalysts increase reaction rates.The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.arrow_forward(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. The fastest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up. The rate of a reaction is independent of temperature. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants.

A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relatearrow_forwardGiven a reaction between an organic molecule, denoted as A, and NaSH, we observe the following observations. Using the observations, write a rate law for the reaction.(a) The rate triples when the concentration of [A] is tripled and the concentration of [NaSH] is held constant.(b) The rate is decreased when the concentration of [A] is doubled and the concentration of [NaSH] is cut by a factor of 3.(c) The rate doubles when the concentration of [A] is cut in half and the concentration of [NaSH] is quadrupled.(d) The rate increases with an increase in temperature. write the rate lawarrow_forward= ○ KINETICS AND EQUILIBRIUM Drawing the reaction energy diagram of a catalyzed reaction Sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for a chemical reaction with and without a catalyst. Assume the uncatalyzed reaction is exothermic. Note: Because the sketches are only qualitative, the energies in them don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch. energy Uncatalyzed reaction reactants Ea reaction coordinate products energy Catalyzed reaction reactants Ea reaction coordinate 0/3 productsarrow_forward

The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. As a reaction progresses its rate goes up. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants. Reaction rates increase as reactant concentrations decrease. Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of disappearance of a reactant to the rate of appearance of a product.arrow_forward2:43 Question 8 of 13 The Haber Process: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH3 is an important industrial route for the production of ammonia.
