Step 1
The graph shows the variation of free energy with reaction composition. This means that the x-axis represents the composition of the reaction, while the y-axis represents the free energy change (ΔG) of the reaction. Show more…

Draw and label energy diagrams that depict the following reactions, and determine all remaining values. Place the reactants at energy level zero. a. $\Delta E_{\text {foruard}}=-10 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}, \mathrm{E}_{a}^{\prime}=40 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ b. $\Delta E_{\text {forward}}=-95 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}, E_{a}=20 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ c. $\Delta E_{\text {reverse}}=-40 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}, E_{\mathrm{a}}^{\prime}=30 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$
Draw and label energy diagrams that depict the following reactions, and determine all remaining values. Place the reactants at energy level zero. a. $\Delta E=+30 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \quad E_{a}^{\prime}=20 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ b. $\Delta E=-30 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \quad E_{a}=20 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$
Sketch a potential energy diagram for a reaction where the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. The enthalpy change (ΔH) of the reaction is known to be +50 kJ and the activation energy (Ea) is +200 kJ. Properly label the axis of the graph and also label the position of the reactants, products, and activated complex!
