(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reaction coordinate diagram for the reaction in which the product is thermodynamically stable and kinetically unstable should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

  • Thermodynamic stability can be represented as ΔG0.  Depend upon the value of ΔG0 it is possible to find stability of the product compared with the reactant.
  • If ΔG0 is negative, then the product is thermodynamically stable compared with the reactant.
  • If ΔG0 is positive, then the product is thermodynamically unstable compared with the reactant
  • In an exergonic reaction the products have a lower free energy than it consumes.
  • In an endergonic reaction the product have a higher free energy than it consumes.
  • Kinetic stability can be represented as ΔG.  Depend upon the value of ΔG it is possible to find stability of the product compared with the reactant.
  • If ΔG is large, then the reactant is kinetically stable because it reacts slowly.
  • If ΔG is small, then the reactant is kinetically unstable because it reacts rapidly.
  • If ΔG for the reverse reaction is large then he product is kinetically stable, similarly if it is small then the product is kinetically unstable.
  • Reaction coordinate diagram shows how the energy of the system changes during a chemical reaction.

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…
In a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: 10 = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, ẞ = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K 1 mol‍¹ and F = 96485 C mol-1.
