Which of the following would result in a slower reaction?
a larger value of ?G‡ for the reaction |
a greater number of collisions between reacting molecules in a given period of time |
a larger fraction of collisions that occur with the proper orientation for reaction |
a more stable transition state |
a larger value of ΔG‡ for the reaction: It will result in slower rate as more the negative value of free energy change more the spontaneity of reaction |
a greater number of collisions between reacting molecules in a given period of time: More the collision more the rate of reaction |
a larger fraction of collisions that occur with the proper orientation for reaction: More the effective collision more the rate of reaction |
a more stable transition state: More the stability of transition state more the rate of reaction |
So answer is a larger value of ΔG‡ for the reaction
