Question

11. The questions below refer to the following energy diagram: Potential Energy Reaction Coordinate a) On the graph, indicate the following: reactants, products, transition state (activated complex), activation energy Ea, and ?E. b) Why is this reaction considered to be exothermic? c) If the reaction were reversible, would the forward or the reverse reaction have a higher activation energy? d) Draw the energy diagram for the same reaction with a catalyst.
