Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy profile diagram for the reaction involving boron trifluoride used in the manufacturing of computer chips is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Reaction profile diagram shows the change in energy as the reaction progress. The transition state is the topmost point on the reaction profile diagram where bond breaking and new bonds formation takes place. Activation energy is the amount of energy required to convert reactants into transition state. In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved.
