For an endergonic reaction step, the Hammond postulate allows one to say that the transition state of the step resembles the reactants of the step. the transition state is precisely symmetric with bond-breaking and bond-forming occurring to the same extent. the reaction containing this step is overall first order. the transition state of the step resembles the products of the step. the step is rate-determining since it has the smallest Ea.

Consider a reaction taking place in an aqueous solvent. The transition state for this reaction is capable of interacting more strongly with the aqueous solvent (through low potential energy interactions, including hydrogen-bonding) than with the reactant/ground state. Despite these strong potential energy interactions, the reaction rate is not significantly faster than the same reaction taking place in a non-polar solvent. Why? a)The transition enthalpy is unchanged by the aqueous solvent b)The transition Gibbs energy is reduced in the aqueous solvent c) The transition entropy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) The transition state internal energy is significantly negative in the aqueous solvated reaction d) none of the above
