5. Example Question 18.05 [18.06 Molecular Theories of Elementary Reactions | Transition State Theory] The values of Ea = 248 kJ/mol and delta E = 41 kJ / mol have been measured for the reaction H2(g) + CO2(g) - > H2O(g) + CO(g) (a) Sketch a potential energy profile for this reaction that shows the potential energy of reactants, products, and the transition state, Include labels that define Ea and delta E. (b) Considering the geometry of the reactants and products, suggest an activated complex for the transition state.

Explanation / Answer

The above answers (a) & (b) are true for the given questions.
(a) Ef will be higher than Eb for the given (+)ve delta E which means the given reaction is a endothermic reaction.
(b) The given activated complex is correct as per the question.
