Chapter 5, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reaction coordinate diagram should be drawn for the given reaction.  The reactant, products, intermediate and transition states in the reaction have to be labelled in the diagram also.

Concept introduction:

  • Reaction coordinate diagram is an abstract one dimensional coordinate which represents progress along a reaction pathway.
  • Reactant: These are the substances initially present in a chemical reaction.
  • Product: These are the substances produced from reactants after a successful reaction.
  • Transition state: It is a hypothetical state that occurs in the space between the reactant and products in a chemical reaction.
  • Intermediate: It is a molecular entity formed from the reactants and reacts further to give the products.

For each reaction in question 20, sketch a reaction coordinate energy diagram indicating the starting materials, transition states and any intermediates, if present, in the reaction. Don't worry about the absolute energy of starting materials and products but you can assume that the product is more stable than the starting materials.
How does a decrease in the temperature of a chemical reaction affect the reaction rate? The reaction rate does not change. The reaction rate increases. The reaction rate decreases. How does an increase in the reactant concentration affect the reaction rate of a chemical reaction? The reaction rate decreases. The reaction rate increases. The reaction rate does not change.
Which is TRUE about exergonic reaction? The product is more stable than the reactant. The rate of the reaction will be very fast. The reactant is more stable than the product. The  rate of the reaction will be very slow.
