Question

can someone help me solve all sections (a,b,c,d) from this Ochem question with explaining please, I really don't understand any of the sections

4. The following reaction energy diagram corresponds to a reaction that gives a mixture of two significant products (X Y Z) on the diagram, label the activation energies (EAm and EA(z), heats of reaction (AHY and AHz), and transition states (TSY and TSz) for both pathways, and then answer the questions below. 12 pts reaction coordinate A. Which product is more stable? B. Which product forms faster? C. Based on your answers to parts A and B, determine the identity of the kinetic and the thermodynamic product. Kinetic product: Thermodynamic product: D. How could different experimental conditions be used to ensure that either the kinetic or the thermodynamic product is the major product?

Explanation / Answer

A)
Z has lesser energy and hence it is more stable

B)
activation energy for formation is Y is less, hence Y will be formed faster

C)
kinetic product is the one which forms faster and thermodynamic product is the one which is more stable
so,
kinetic product is Y
Thermodynamic product is Z

D)
At lower temperature kinetic product is formed
At higher temperature thermodynamic product is formed
