The rate constant for a reaction is 3.70 times 10^-3 M^-1 s^-1 at 50 degree C and 2.45 times 10^-5 M^-1 s^-1 at 15 degree C. What is the activation energy for the reaction? Reaction Energy Diagrams (see Fig. 16.21) (a) Draw two separate plots with the enthalpy (heat energy) on the y-axis versus time of reaction on the x-axis for the two chemical reactions, endothermic and exothermic. On each diagram clearly identify the reactants, products, change in enthalpy (delta H), activation energies (E_act) and the transition state (or “activated complex”)
