Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Arrows indicating the energy barriers of the exergonic reaction in Figure 9-1a and the endergonic reaction in Figure 9-1b are to be drawn. The two reactions are to be compared assuming the same energy scale.
Concept introduction:
The energy barrier to a reaction of an elementary step is the difference in the energies of the reactant and the transition state of that reaction or elementary step. The transition state is an excited state, and therefore, has a higher energy than the reactant(s). Therefore, the activation energy for a reaction or an elementary step is always positive.
The transtion state simulates the reactant in an exergonic reaction, while in an endergonic reaction, it mirror of the product.

Nucleophilic attack leads to intermediate 2, which goes on to form final product. In cases that involve a negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product. Year Hot Br + CH₂OH Br Intermediate 1 Intermediate 2 (product) In a similar fashion, draw intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 (final product) for the following reaction. Br H Br₂ + NaBr + H2O H H H NaOH . Pay attention to the reactants, they may differ from the examples. In some reactions, one part of the molecule acts as the nucleophile. Structures are provided for you to modify in the sketchers below. . • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Draw one structure per sketcher.

- Is this correct?arrow_forwardStudy the following reaction energy diagram: energy reactants Then answer the following questions about the chemical reaction. Does this reaction release or absorb energy? How many transition states occur during this reaction? Could this be an elementary reaction? If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then how many steps are in its mechanism? If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then enter the number of the step in its mechanism which is rate- determining. For example, if the first step is the rate- determining step, enter "1" here.

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
