Chapter 12, Problem 12.70E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The generalized energy diagram for reaction of alkene with water in the presence of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ to produce alcohol and $\text{10}\text{kcal}/\text{mol}$ energy is to be drawn. Whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which the heat or light is absorbed during the reaction. Exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which the heat or light is released during the reaction.
