Question

Question 15 Identify correct statements pertaining to reaction energies. The rate of a reaction depends on the energy change between reactants and products, If Keo < 1, the equilibrium will favor the reactants. IfAG® < 0. Ke will be greater than 1. The reaction step with the highest energy transition state is called the rate determining step.

Answer 1

​​​​​​Q. No.15. The correct statemens are

If $\Delta$G^o <0, then equilibrium constant, K will be greater than 1 because $\Delta$G^o = -RTlnK if K>1 then $\Delta$G^o is negative and less than zero.

The reaction step with the highest energy transition state is the slow step and is the rate determining step.
