The hypothetical reaction A + B = C occurs in the forward direction in a single step
Chapter 15, Problem 15.83(choose chapter or problem)
The hypothetical reaction A + B = C occurs in the forward direction in a single step. The energy profile of the reaction is shown in the drawing. (a) Is the forward or reverse reaction faster at equilibrium? (b) Would you expect the equilibrium to favor reactants or products? (c) In general, how would a catalyst affect the energy profile shown? (d) How would a catalyst affect the ratio of the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions? (e) How would you expect the equilibrium constant of the reaction to change with increasing temperature?
