2. In a particular chemical reaction, the energy of the reactants is 30 kJ and the energy of the products is 5kJ. The maximum energy of the system is 40 kJ. a. Sketch a potential energy diagram for this reaction. Make sure to label the energy of the reactants, the energy of the products, the activation energy, and the enthalpy change for the reaction.

maximum energy of the system is 40 kJ. is activation energy :) energy of the reactants is 30 kJ energy of the products is 5 kJ

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

this video will explain it to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you sketch it? Like I have noooo idea how to do this assignment! :( But thank you @ZairaHernandez @Australopithecus

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

That video shows you a diagram, it is the same as the one you have to draw

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

It also walks you through it

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

you might want to denote the energies on the y-axis though

Thank you so much @Australopithecus

b. What is the activation energy for this reaction? @ZairaHernandez

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c. What is the enthalpy change for this reaction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer in two ways: first, using the energy values, and second, by referring to the shape of the graph.

@ZairaHernandez can you please help me again? /.\

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

I have no clue sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks anyway @ZairaHernandez
