Draw and explain the reaction coordinate diagrams for the following situations...

1. k1 and k2 are similar

2. k2 is really big, k1 is really small, and step 2 is the rds

3. k1 is approximately equal to k-1, step 2 is the rds, and equal parts I as A and B

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Drawn below are,

1. diagram when k1 is similar to k2

2. k2 > k1 and step 2 is RDS

3. k1 = k-1 and step 2 is RDS

The reaction in 1. is a two step proces with both steps are parts of determining the mechanism of the reaction.

The reaction is 2. has only step 2 contibuting for the reaction mechanism.

The reaction is 3. also again has only step 2 contributing towards reaction mechanism.
