Sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for a chemical reaction with and without a catalyst. 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.

3. On the potential diagram below label the reactants and the products does the diagram show an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction ? Explain why
Using your knowledge of temperature and reaction rate, explain why food spoils at a slower rate when refrigerated.
The amount of O, in the primitive atmosphere was likely pretty small. However, in order for aerobic organism to develop, there must have been a source of O, for them. Water maybe? 2 H-O-H → 2 H-H + O=0 What is more energetically stable, the reactants or the product? A. Reactant mixture B. Product mixture C. Need more information to determine D. Don't know how to predict

The choices are: Reversible reaction, Le Châtelier’s principle, and Chemical equilibrium
Use energy diagrams to compare catalyzed and ucatalyzed reactions
Answer the 1st question
3.
Consider this reaction diagrams where R is reactants and P is products. What would the reaction diagram look like if a catalyst was added?
When is the transition state's structure/geometry expected to be close to the reactant's structure? Assume a single step. The transition state's structure/geometry is always exactly half-way between reactant and products. For an endothermic reaction For an exothermic reaction
Consider the relative energy diagrams for four different processes: Potential energy A Reaction coordinate Potential energy B Reaction coordinate Potential energy Reaction coordinate Compare energy diagrams A and B. Which process will more greatly favor products at equilibrium? Explain. Process B more greatly favors products at equilibrium because it has a lower energy of activation. Potential energy Process A more greatly favors products at equilibrium because it has a higher energy of activation. Process A more greatly favors products at equilibrium because it is exergonic. Process B more greatly favors products at equilibrium because it is endergonic. D Reaction coordinate
What does a catalyst do to speed the reaction rate? It increases the concentration of the reactants. It lowers the activation energy. O It increases the kinetic energy of the reactants. It increases the temperature of the reaction. O It increases the number of collisions between the reactants.
