Chapter 4.10, Problem 4.14P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To draw: The reaction energy diagram for the given reverse reaction.

Interpretation: The reaction energy diagram for the given reverse reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The graphical representation of chemical reaction in which x-axis represents energy of the reaction and y-axis represents the extent of reaction process is called energy profile diagram. The reaction is exothermic or endothermic and can be predicted from the energy profile diagram.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The activation energy of the reverse reaction.

Interpretation: The activation energy of the reverse reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The graphical representation of chemical reaction in which x-axis represents energy of the reaction and y-axis represents the extent of reaction process is called energy profile diagram. The reaction is exothermic or endothermic and can be predicted from the energy profile diagram.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction
