(a)
Interpretation:
The rate of the given reaction is to be stated as rapid, slow, won’t react and the answer is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The energy relationships of a reaction are explained on the basis of energy diagrams. In an exothermic reaction, the energy of products is lower than that of the reactants. On the other hand, in an endothermic reaction, the energy of reactants is lower than that of products. Also, the activation energy for different reactions is different. The

On the other hand, in an endothermic reaction, the energy of reactants is lower than that of products. Also, the activation energy for different reactions is different. The rate of the reaction depends on the state of reactants, on the medium in which they are present, concentration, temperature and the presence of catalyst.

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…arrow_forwardIn a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: 10 = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, ẞ = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K 1 mol¹ and F = 96485 C mol-1.arrow_forward
