Chapter 19, Problem 19.93QP
The reaction of G2 with E2 to form 2EG is exothermic, and the reaction of G2 with X2 to form 2XG is endothermic. The activation energy of the exothermic reaction is greater than that of the endothermic reaction. Sketch the potential energy profile diagrams for these two reactions on the same graph.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the speed at which the reaction occurs.
Identify the statements that explain the correlation between the increase in temperature and the increase in reaction rate.
More atom-atom stretching and bending within the molecules occurs at higher temperatures, which creates more
reactive molecular configurations.
Added heat decreases the activation energy of a reaction and has a similar effect as adding a catalyst.
✔ Molecules at higher temperatures have greater kinetic energy, which results in more frequent and higher
energy collisions.
An increased temperature improves the reaction pathway by decreasing the energy difference between reactants
and products.
Ozone in the stratosphere can be depleted in catalyzed reactions. The overall reaction for this exothermic process is given by:
O3 +O→2O2, via the mechanism:
NO+O3 →NO2 +O2
NO2 +O→NO+O2
Is this mechanism a chain reaction? Why or why not?
Identify both the catalyst and the reactive intermediate in this mechanism.
Draw to a relative scale the potential energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for both the uncatalyzed reaction and the catalyzed reaction. Label transition states, activation energy, and reactive intermediates where appropriate.
