- (a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. 1.The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.2 The rate of a reaction is independent of temperature.3 Slow reactions can be speeded up by raising the temperature.4. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.5. Solid catalysts do not affect reaction rates.6. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.7. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relatearrow_forwardTo draw: An energy diagram for a two-step reaction in which both steps are exergonic and in which the second step has a higher-energy transition state than the first. Label the parts of the diagram correspoding to reactant, product, intermediate, overall ΔG‡, and overall ΔG°.arrow_forwardFor a reversible reaction at an equilibrium: The rate of the reaction forward is the same as that of the reaction in reverse. The rate constant for the reaction forward is the same as that for the reverse. The free energy of substrate is the same as that of product. No conversion of substrate to product, and product to substrate occurs. Position of an equilibrium does not depend on substrate and product concentration , only on the magnitude of equilibrium constant.arrow_forward

The first step is the rate-determining step and is endergonic. On your reaction coordinate diagram clearly label: reactants, products, intermediates, ΔG‡ for each step, ΔG for the overall reaction, and all transition states.arrow_forward(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. 1. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.2. Slow reactions can be speeded up by raising the temperature.3. Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.4. The slowest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step.5. Reaction rates increase as reactant concentrations decrease.6. Reaction rate constants decrease with increasing temperature.7. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.arrow_forward
