Compare the reaction energy diagrams for the three gas phase reactions shown below. (Hint: The questions are easier to answer if you line up the left sides of each diagram containing the A-A bond.) Energy A-A + C A-D + A A-A+B A- B A A- CA A-A+D 1) A2 + B → AB + A 2) A2 + C AC + A 3) A2 + D + AD + A Assume that steric factors are all comparable and that entropy is not important in the following. Specify a reaction with its number (1,2, or 3). The reaction with the largest forward rate constant is The reaction with largest equilibrium constant is The reaction whose equilibrium constant increases the most with an increase in temperature is The strongest bond is the ---Select-- bond. The weakest bond is the ---Select-- bond.
