Question
Suppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways: A + B C Reaction 1 gives product C
Suppose a pair of chemical compounds A and B can react in two different ways:
A + B → C
Reaction 1 gives product C .
A + B → D
Reaction 2 gives product D .
The following facts are known about the two reactions: Both reactions are endothermic, but the heat of reaction of Reaction #1 is larger.
If a reaction vessel is charged ("filled") with A and B, then at first D is produced faster than C. Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions.
