This is one question ### Two-Step Chemical Reaction Analysis#### Problem Statement:Consider the reaction coordinate below for a two-step chemical reaction.[Insert Reaction Coordinate Diagram Here]In step 1, compound a reacts to form compound b, and in step 2, compound b reacts to form compound c.i) Which step is an exothermic reaction? ii) Label the activation energies in the reaction.#### Diagram Explanation:**Reaction Coordinate Diagram:**- The x-axis represents the Reaction Progress.- The y-axis represents the Energy level.The diagram shows a two-step reaction with the following stages:1. **From compound a to compound b:** - Starting at point **a** (initial energy level of compound a), the energy increases to a peak, indicating the activation energy required for the reaction. - After reaching the peak, the energy decreases to point **b** (energy level of compound b).2. **From compound b to compound c:** - Starting at point **b**, the energy increases again to another peak. - After reaching this second peak, the energy decreases further to point **c** (final energy level of compound c).#### Questions:**i) Which step is an exothermic reaction?** - An exothermic reaction is identified by a release of energy, where the final energy level is lower than the initial energy level. - From the diagram, the reaction from compound **b to c** is exothermic since the energy level decreases from compound b to compound c.**ii) Label the activation energies in the reaction** - Activation energy is the energy required to reach the peak from the current energy level. - For **step 1 (a to b)**: The activation energy is the difference in energy between point **a** and the first peak. - For **step 2 (b to c)**: The activation energy is the difference in energy between point **b** and the second peak.By understanding these principles, one can analyze the energetic feasibility and nature of chemical reactions.

What happens when the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state increases? A The particles vibrate more slowly, causing the forces of attraction holding them together to increase, resulting in a solid. The particles vibrate fast enough to overcome the forces of attraction holding them to- gether and become a gas. The particles vibrate so slowly that the particles are no longer held together, resulting in a gas. The particles vibrate so quickly that the particles ionize and become plasma.
