Chapter 6.3, Problem 5P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of transition state for given state of reaction coordinate diagrams should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Rate determining step: In a chemical reaction the rate determining step is the slowest step in which the rate of the reaction depends on the rate of that slowest step.

Activation energy: It is defined as the minimum energy required by the reacting species in order to undergo chemical reaction.

Reactant: In a chemical reaction the species that present left is denoted as reactant which undergoes chemical change and result to given new species called product.

Product: In a chemical reaction the species that present in right side is denoted as product that results from the reactant.

Reaction coordinate: It is the diagrammatic representation of a chemical reaction which depicts how the reactants get transformed into product where the transition state and the intermediates present in the reaction are also depicted.

Enthalpy change: The change in the energy as the product formed from the reactants is represented by the enthalpy change in the reaction coordinate diagram.

Intermediate species: It is the species formed during the middle of the chemical reaction between the reactant and the desired product.

Transition State: The state which defines the highest potential energy with respect to reaction co-ordinate between reactant and product. It is usually denoted by using the symbol ‘≠’.
