Chapter 5.7, Problem 26P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thermodynamically stable product compared with reactant in the given reaction has to be determined.

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.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Most kinetically stable product compared with reactant in the given reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

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.

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.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Least kinetically stable product compared with reactant in the given reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

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.

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.

As we will learn in Section 13.12, many antioxidants–compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring–are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring. a. Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requires considerably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol (362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol). b.Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?
8. Compound (A) rearranges to compound (B) spontaneously. a) Draw the mechanism using curved arrows, that describes how this rearrangement can occur. (Hint: two shifts are required to obtain the product). H Br H₂C Br b) What makes the formation of the previous product spontaneous (ie. why is the product more stable than the reactant)?
Consider the following two-step reaction: a.How many bonds are broken and formed in Step [1]? Would you predict the ΔHo of Step [1] to be positive or negative? b.How many bonds are broken and formed in Step [2]? Would you predict the ΔHo of Step [2] to be positive or negative? c.Which step is rate-determining? d.Draw the structure for the transition state in both steps of the mechanism. e.If ΔHooverall is negative for this two-step reaction, draw an energy diagram illustrating all of the information in parts (a)–(d).
