Textbook Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.5CC
Consider the following potential-energy curves for two different reactions:
- a. Which reaction has a higher activation energy for the forward reaction?
- b. If both reactions were run at the same temperature and have the same orientation requirements to react, which one would have the larger rate constant?
- c. Are these reactions exothermic or endothermic?

What would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In
essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner
using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule,
this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more)
attack.
