a) Interpretation: Electrostatic potential maps of formaldehyde is given.The nature of the formldehyde carbon atom whether electrophilic or nucleophilic is to be stated and explained. Concept introduction: Electrostatic potential maps are used to identify at a glance the electron rich or electron poor atoms in molecule. In them the electron rich regions are shown in red and electron poor region are shown in blue. To state and explain: From the electrostatic potential map of formaldehyde the nature of the formldehyde carbon atom, whether it is electrophilic or nucleophilic.

Question

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.
