1. What conclusions can be reached given the following information? [Be specific regarding kinetic and thermodynamic control, and AG at equilibrium and 25 °C.] When the reaction of a single starting material is carried out at –78 °C, one product, Pa, is formed exclusively. When the chemistry is carried out at room temperature (assume 25 °C), two products, Pa and PB, form in a ratio of 10:1, respectively. When either pure PA or pure PB is allowed to stand at room temperature, the composition of the reaction mixture eventually reaches 10:1 (PA/PB).
