Chapter 6: Q23E (page 181)

Draw an energy diagram for a reaction with Keq=1 . What is the value of ΔGo in this reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

An energy profile diagram is a plot of energy against the reaction coordinate.

This shows when the reaction proceeds how the energy of the reactant and product changes.

Step by step solution

01

Energy profile diagram

An energy profile diagram is a plot of energy against the reaction coordinate.

This shows when the reaction proceeds how the energy of the reactant and product changes.

02

Step 2: Relation between Keq=1 and exergonic reaction

When Keqgreater than 1 then the energy is out in the reaction which means the reaction is exergonic.

WhenKeqless than 1 is then the energy is in the reaction which means the reaction is endergonic.

If Keq> 1 then ΔGois negative.

If Keq=1 then the reaction does not proceed either in a forward or backward direction.

And forKeq=1 then ΔGo=0

2-Chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water in three steps to yield 2-methyl-2-propanol. The first step is slower than the second, which in turn is much slower than the third. The reaction takes place slowly at room temperature, and the equilibrium constant is approximately 1.

  1. Give approximate values forΔG± and ΔGothat are consistent with the above information.
  2. Draw an energy diagram for the reaction, labeling all points of interest and making sure that the relative energy levels on the diagram are consistent with the information given.
