Which of the following is (are) true when the outcome of a reaction is governed by
thermodynamics. (4 points) a. The product that dominates is the one that has the lowest
activation barrier. b. There is enough energy in the system for the kinetic product to revert to
starting 2. material. The reaction is an equilibrium. Over time, the concentration of the lowest
energy product increases due to the high activation barrier involved in the reverse reaction. The
reaction is irreversible. c. d. e.
Solution
Option A,B,Cis correct.
at high temperature the reaction is under thermodynamic control and hence the rection will be
reversible, it will be in equlibrium
If the barrier is smaller there will be more easy to pass.. there will be more chances to get a stable
product
