QUESTION:
Draw an energy diagram of a reaction with the following characteristics: (a) A one-step reaction with a negative DG (b) A one-step reaction with a positive DG (c) A two-step reaction with an overall negative DG, where the intermediate is higher in energy than the reactants and the first transition state is higher in energy than the second transition state
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
(a) If the reaction is only one step, there are no intermediates. If G is negative, the products must be lower in energy than the reactants. This gives the following energy diagram.
