Potential Energy Diagrams

Goal Procedure Questions

Practice drawing and interpreting potential energy diagrams. Draw and label potential energy diagrams to answer the following questions.
1. Assume the following reaction has a one-step mechanism:

A+BC Draw a potential energy diagram for the reaction that correctly incorporates each of the following labels: H = 150 kJ/mol Ea(fwd) = 450 kJ Potential energy Reaction progress Transition state A+B C

(a) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?

(b) Determine Ea(rev) for the reaction. Add this value to your diagram. (c) How would your diagram have been different if the reaction had a two-step

mechanism? Explain your answer.

(d) A catalyst speeds up the reaction by providing an alternative, two-step

mechanism. On your diagram, sketch a curve to represent the effect of the catalyst on the reaction.
2. Assume the following reaction has a one-step mechanism:

D+EF+G Draw a potential energy diagram for the reaction that correctly incorporates each of the following labels: H = 56 kJ/mol Ea(rev) = 120 kJ Potential energy Reaction progress Transition state D+E F+G
