Chapter 6, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction with activation energy 10 kcal or 1 kcal corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Activation energy of a reaction in chemistry is the amount of energy that must be provided to start a chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction with equilibrium constant 10 or 100 corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant is related to a relationship between reactants and products of a specific reaction. It is a measurement for determine the completion of a reaction with equilibrium.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction with change in enthalpy -2 kcal/mol or +2 kcal/mol corresponds to a faster reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Enthalpy of a reaction is the energy change occurs in the system, during the particular reaction. Enthalpy of a reaction is measured as kilojoules per mole (kJ mol-1) or kilocalories per mole (kcal mol-1).

The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?
For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.
