Interpretation:
For a reaction, an energy diagram needs to be drawn having a high Ea and value of
Concept Introduction:
In energy diagram, energy versus progress of the reaction-the reaction coordinates are plotted. Reactants are placed in the left side and products in right side. These reactants and products are connected by a smooth curve that represent how energy change with time.
When two reactions approach each other, a repulsion takes place, so the energy is increased until a maximum value is achieved. This state is called transition state and energy difference between the transition state and reactants are called the activation energy, Ea. As the bonds form between the reactants, the energy decreases until a stable minimum energy is achieved. The difference in energy between the reactants and the products is the enthalpy change, ΔH.

Consider the data below to answer the following questions. Cyanohydrins are important intermediates in the synthesis of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids from ketones and aldehydes. The nitrile functional group can be hydrolyzed by aqueous acid to yield a carboxylic acid. Nitriles can also be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids using aqueous base. Unfortunately, when a cyanohydrin is treated with aqueous base the original carbonyl compound is isolated. OH CH-COOH 0 HO CN C H30* C.
