Chapter 5, Problem 47DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be identified if the overall reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

Concept introduction:

An endothermic reaction proceeds by absorption of energy. On the potential energy diagram, the reactants are placed at a lower energy level than the products in an endothermic reaction.

An exothermic reaction proceeds by release of energy. On the potential energy diagram, the reactants are placed at a higher energy level than the products in an exothermic reaction.

1. 2-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with water in three steps to yield 2-methyl-2-propanol.  The first step is slower than the second, which in turn is much slower that the third.  The reaction takes place slowly at room temperature, and the equilibrium constant is approximately 1.  Which of the energy diagrams for the reaction are drawn and labeled correctly.  Make sure the energy levels are consistent with the information given.
