Question

draw the energy diagram (energy verses course of reaction curve) for the reaction 4 ph₃ + 2 h₂ + 9 o₂ ⇔ 2 p₂o₅ + 8 h₂o(liq) + 25 kj since we cannot draw in this program, you will answer some questions about the diagram below. the amount of potential energy in the reactants is indicated by 1 the potential energy in the products is indicated by 2 the difference in energy between reactant and products is indicated by 3 the energy in the transition state is indicated by 4 energy diagram with labels a, b, c, d a. a b. b c. c d. d e. 1 f. none g. what ? h. maybe ?

Explanation:

Step 1: Analyze Reactant Energy (Question 1)

In an energy diagram, reactants are at the initial energy level. Point A represents the initial (reactant) potential energy. So for "The amount of potential energy in the reactants", the answer is A (option A).

Step 2: Analyze Product Energy (Question 2)

Products are at the final energy level. Point C represents the final (product) potential energy. So for "The potential energy in the products", the answer is C (option C).

Step 3: Analyze Energy Difference (Question 3)

The difference between reactant (A) and product (C) energy is the vertical distance D (since energy decreases from A to C, D is the magnitude of the difference). So for "The difference in energy between reactant and products", the answer is D (option D).

Step 4: Analyze Transition State Energy (Question 4)

The transition state is the highest energy point in the reaction, which is point B. So for "The energy in the transition state", the answer is B (option B).

Answer:

1. A. A
2. C. C
3. D. D
4. B. B
