Suppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways:
Reaction 1 gives product C.
A+B C
A+B-D
Reaction 2 gives product D.
The following facts are known about the two reactions:
. In both reactions the reactants (A+B) are less stable than their product (C or D), but the heat of reaction for Reaction #2 is larg
• If a reaction vessel is charged ("filled") with A and B, then at first C is produced faster than D.
Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions.
Note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to e-
if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.
