Question

Consider the following energy diagram showing two possible pathways for the reaction between A and B: Pathway 1) A + B rightarrow C + D and pathway A + B -> E + Which of the following statement is not true for the following two reactions? a. C and D are the thermodynamically favored products. b. Pathway 1)A + B rightarrow C + D is exothermic. c. The products E and F are kinetically favored over C and D. d. Based on the Hammond postulate, the transition states are closer in structure to the starting materials.

Explanation / Answer

(d)

Because, they both are different pathways forming different transition states requiring different activation energies. They both may ahve same intermediate but the transition state is different.
