Exothermic reactions energy diagram

Select Energy (Properties menu). Notice that it updates automatically as you go from one frame to another. This allows you to easily construct reaction energy diagrams (energy vs. frame number or vs. a specific geometrical parameter). Make such a plot for this Sn2 reaction. Note, that the reaction as written is thermodynamically favorable, i.e., it is exothermic. Note also, that only a relatively small energy barrier needs to be surmounted. 

The Hammond Postulate implies that the transition stah of a fast exothermic reaction resembles the reactants (se( reaction energy diagram at left). This means that it wil be hard to predict the selectivity of competing exothermi( reactions both barriers may be small and similar even i one reaction is more exothermic than the other. 

Draw a reaction-energy diagram for a one-step exothermic reaction. Label the parts that represent the reactants, products, transition state, activation energy, and heat of reaction.

Hammond postulate Related species (on a reaction-energy diagram) that are closer in energy are also closer in structure. In an exothermic reaction, the transition state is closer to the reactants in energy and in structure. In an endothermic reaction, the transition state is closer to the products in energy and in structure (pi 149)... 

Sketch a reaction energy diagram for a one-step reaction that is very slow and slightly exothermic. 

PROBLEM 3.18 Draw a reaction energy diagram for a two-step reaction that has an endothermic first step and an exothermic second step. Label the reactants, transition states, reaction intermediate, activation energies, and enthalpy differences. 

A reaction energy diagram for eiectrophiiic aromatic substitution. The eiectrophiie adds to benzene in an endothermic first step, with ioss of aromaticity. A proton at the carbon attacked by the electrophile is iost in an exothermic second step, with restoration of aromaticity. 

For an exothermic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings. So the enthalpy of the reactants must be greater than the enthalpy of the products. We can see from the enthalpy profile diagram for the combustion of methane (Figure 6.3) that - H eactants negative. 

Let us consider the formation of sodium chloride from its elements. An energy (enthalpy) diagram (called a Born-Haber cycle) for the reaction of sodium and chlorine is given in Figure 3.7. (As in the energy diagram for the formation of hydrogen chloride, an upward arrow represents an endothermic process and a downward arrow an exothermic process.)...
