(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of transition state for given state of reaction coordinate diagrams should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Rate determining step: In a chemical
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 ‘≠’.
