### Analyzing Activation Energy in Chemical Reactions**Question:**On the energy diagram below, which arrows represent the activation energy?**Diagram Description:**The energy diagram plots the reaction coordinate (x-axis) against energy (y-axis), illustrating the energy changes during a chemical reaction. It starts with the reactants at a certain energy level, which then rise to a peak (representing the transition state) before descending to the energy level of the products. Three arrows are depicted in the diagram:- Arrow 1: Extends from the reactants' energy level to the peak of the transition state.- Arrow 2: Extends from the products' energy level to the peak of the transition state.- Arrow 3: Extends from the products' energy level to the reactants' energy level.**Options:**A. Arrow 1 is the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reactions.B. Arrow 1 is the activation energy for the forward reaction and arrow 2 is the activation energy for the reverse reaction.C. Arrow 1 is the activation energy for the forward reaction and arrow 3 is the activation energy for the reverse reaction.D. Arrow 3 is the activation for the forward reaction and arrow 2 is the activation energy for the reverse reaction.**Answer:****B. Arrow 1 is the activation energy for the forward reaction and arrow 2 is the activation energy for the reverse reaction.**### Explanation of Terms:**Activation Energy:**- The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.- For the **forward reaction**, it is the energy needed to go from reactants to the transition state (represented by Arrow 1).- For the **reverse reaction**, it is the energy needed to go from products to the transition state (represented by Arrow 2).Understanding these concepts is essential for mastering reaction kinetics and thermodynamics in chemistry.

On the free energy diagram shown, label the intermediate (s) and transition state(s). Is the reaction thermodynamically favorable? Reaction.
A. Will decreasing the amount of energy needed to make an exergonic reaction occur cause the reaction to be more exergonic? Why or why not? B. Will such an energetic alteration change the rate of the reaction? Why or why not
this one represents an endothermic reaction. Things are similar: the flat line on the left (beginning of the reaction) is the total energy possessed by the reactant molecules; once again, kJ stands for energy in kiloJoules, thousands of Joules. The flat line on the right (reaction complete) is the total energy of the products. Since an endothermic reaction has a net absorption of energy (taking this extra energy from the surroundings), the products have higher energy than the reactants. Question: the energy of the reactant molecules is kJ. [to answer, simply identify the correct y-axis coordinate.] 250 200 PE (kJ) 150 100 50 Reaction pathway
