Explanation The given equilibrium is, A ⇌ B Activation energy is defined as the minimum energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction . Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant of a reaction with its activation energy and is given by the expression, k = A e − E a / R T Where, k is the rate constant for the reaction. A is a constant. E a is the activation energy. R is the gas constant. T is the absolute temperature. The above expression implies that at constant values of A and T , the rate constant increases as the activation energy decreases. It is given that the only effect of a catalyst on the given reaction is to lower the activation energies of the forward and reverse reactions. Moreover a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both forward and backward reactions to the same extent. It means the activation energy of both the forward and reverse reaction in presence of a catalyst remains the same. The rate constant for the forward reaction in presence of a catalyst is given by the expression, k f 1 = A e − E a 1 / R T Where, k f 1 is the rate constant for the forward reaction in presence of a catalyst. E a 1 is the activation energy of the reaction in presence of a catalyst. Similarly, the rate constant expression for the reverse reaction in presence of a catalyst is given by the expression, k r 1 = A e − ( E a 1 + Δ E ) / R T = A e − E a 1 / R T . e − Δ E / R T Where, k r 1 is the rate constant for the reverse reaction in presence of a catalyst. Δ E is the difference between the energies of product and reactant. The equilibrium constant for the given reaction in presence of a catalyst is calculated by the formula, K 1 = k f 1 k r 1 Where, K 1 is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction in presence of a catalyst. Substitute the values of k f 1 and k r 1 in the above formula. K 1 = A e − E a 1 / R T A e − E a 1 / R T

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
