It is to be determined whether the given
Concept introduction:
Competing reactions can take place in kinetic or
Reactions that tend to take place under thermodynamic control are the ones in which a more stable but not necessarily the major product is formed.
Reversible reactions tend to take place under thermodynamic control, while irreversible reactions tend to take place under kinetic control.
Reactions like
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa. A reaction is irreversible if it’s
Answer to Problem 9.72P
The given reaction is irreversible.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
It is mentioned that the reaction would follow the
The species
As the reaction is irreversible it would take place under kinetic control.
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa.

Concept introduction:
Competing reactions can take place in kinetic or thermodynamic control. Reactions that tend to take place under the kinetic control are the ones in which the major product is the one that forms the fastest.
Reactions that tend to take place under thermodynamic control are the ones in which a more stable but not necessarily the major product is formed.
Reversible reactions tend to take place under thermodynamic control, while irreversible reactions tend to take place under kinetic control.

Answer to Problem 9.72P
The given reaction is reversible.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
It is mentioned that the reaction would follow the
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa. The charged species on the left side is
This makes the reaction faster in the reverse direction than in the forward direction under standard conditions. Thus, this reaction is reversible.
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa.

The given reaction is irreversible.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
It is mentioned that the reaction would follow the
In the above reaction,
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa. The charged species on the left side is
Thus,
As the reaction is irreversible it would take place under kinetic control.
The charge stability decides if the products are more stable than the reactants or vice versa.
