Question

a graph of free energy for a reaction with a catalyst and a reaction without a catalyst is shown. drag and drop each label to its corresponding energy level. each label will only be used once
free energy of the products of
the reaction
free energy of the transition state without a catalyst free energy of the reactants of the reaction
free energy of the transition state with a catalyst

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants

The horizontal line at the start of the reaction (left - most) represents the free energy of the reactants. So the lowest of the three un - labeled dotted lines (the one closest to the reactant starting point) is the "free energy of the reactants of the reaction".

Step2: Identify transition states

A catalyst lowers the activation energy. The higher peak (blue curve) is the transition state without a catalyst, and the lower peak (red curve) is the transition state with a catalyst. So the highest of the three un - labeled dotted lines is the "free energy of the transition state without a catalyst", and the middle one is the "free energy of the transition state with a catalyst".

Answer:

From top to bottom (for the three un - labeled dotted lines):

  • free energy of the transition state without a catalyst
  • free energy of the transition state with a catalyst
  • free energy of the reactants of the reaction
