1. Consider the potential energy diagram shown below. This graph shows the chemical potential energy in a reaction system over time. The y-axis is potential energy in kilojoules. The x-axis is the reaction progress or time.
Does this graph represent an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Explain your answer.
What is the enthalpy change, ΔH, for this reaction? Show your work.
What is the activation energy, Ea, for this reaction? Show your work.
THE GRAPH IS BELOW

Answer :

150 kJ of energy was given out over the course of the reaction and 200kJ is required for the reactants to be converted into products.

What is the potential energy graph?

We know that the combination of the reactants is what leads to the formation of products. The interaction of the reactants and the products is what is shown on the potential energy curve. The hump at the highest point of the graph is the activation energy while the difference between the energy of the reactant and the products is the enthalpy of the reaction.

Now; the enthalpy change is given as;

ΔH = 200 kJ - 50 kJ = 150 kJ

Ea = 250 kJ - 50 kJ = 200kJ

We can see that 150 kJ of energy was given out over the course of the reaction and 200kJ is required for the reactants to be converted into products.
