Name__________________Homework #4 CHEM 2321 1. a. Under thermodynamic control, what point on the diagram above would represent the major product? b. For the diagram above, imagine the forward reaction in which A ⇋ G. What point on the graph determines the slowest (rate determining) forward step? 2. What is the value of S for the following reaction? 3. Describe the reason for the following relative rates of reaction, where the only difference is the nature of X-? 4. Given the following empirical data, write a rate equation for the reaction between substrates A, B, and C.
