d. What is the overall amount of activation energy for the above chemical reaction?
e. Which reaction intermediate would be considered a catalyst (if any) and why?
f. If you were to add 2700kJ of energy to the reaction (e.g. 2700 kJ of heat or electricity), would
you be able to make the reaction reverse itself (i.e. have the products become reactants)?
Justify your answer.
g. If you were to added a positive catalyst to step (ii) what would the end result be? Explain your
prediction.
h. Your friend is looking at your graph and states that she believes that step (ii) is the rate
determining step. Do you agree with her? If you do not agree with her, what step would you
pick as the RDS?
