Question

A diagram of the potential energy vs. reaction pathway for a reaction is shown.

Answer 1

Compare the activation energy to the overall energy change of the reaction.

The amount of energy absorbed by this reaction is smaller than the amount of activation energy required.
The amount of energy absorbed by this reaction is larger than the amount of activation energy required.
The amount of energy released by this reaction is smaller than the amount of activation energy required.
The amount of energy released by this reaction is larger than the amount of activation energy required.

Answer 3

Any ideas of how to start?

Answer 4

not really

Answer 5

First, do the reactants or products have more energy?

Answer 6

reactants

Answer 7

Right, brb

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

Ok, so, since reactants have more energy, is energy absorbed or released?

Answer 10

ok relaesed

Answer 11

so d?

Answer 12

Yep, since also the activation energy is smaller than the amount of energy released.

Answer 13

ok next one

Answer 14
