1. The rate constant for the reaction of a particular organic compound with water varies with temperature as follows:

From these data, plot a graph and calculate the activation energy in units of kJ/mol.

2. Differentiate between kinetic and thermodynamic control reactions. Explain the role of temperature in determining the product ratio of the kinetic and thermodynamic products in addition of HCI to 1,3-butadiene.
