Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a reaction A → B involves an intermediate C that forms from A. If C is unstable and quickly converts to B, how would this behavior affect the reaction rate and kinetics?
💡 Hint: Focus on how reactants, intermediates, and products are interrelated.
What implications do intermediates have on the mechanism of catalyzed reactions compared to uncatalyzed reactions?
💡 Hint: Think about how catalysts shift energy barriers.
