Question

On the basis of the Hammond postulate, which of the following statements best describes the factors that affect the rate of endothermic reactions? Endothermic reactions are characterized by late transition states that are more "product-like", so the factors that stabilize products are more important in determining reaction rates. Endothermic reactions have very low activation energies. Cooling increases the rate of endothermic reactions. Endothermic reactions are characterized by transition states that resemble the starting material. In such cases, the factors that stabilize the starting material are more important in determining reaction rates.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is A- factors that stabilize the products.
