Answer the follow using the Energy Profile plot. More than one answer is possible for some questions.

Question

What chemical species are present...

A. at the longest constraint distance? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)

B. at the highest energy? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)

C. at the shortest constraint distance? (Use i, ii, iv, etc. for your answer)

i. CV+
ii. -OH
iii. CVOH
iv. transition state

Answer 1

In lab manual it says
long distance = reactants (CV+ and -OH)
transition state = highest energy
lowest energy or lowest distance = products (CVOH)

page 7

Answer 2

Longest constraint distance: CV+ and -OH (i, ii)
Highest energy: transition state (iv)
Shortest constraint distance: CVOH (iii)

Answer 3

yup that's right :)

Answer 4

the answers above are right :)
