2. Consider the Winstein spectrum shown below: wPC mp II II IV The two equilibria, II III and III eV are both exothermic in the forward (rightward) direction. Which way are the two equilibria shifted as temperature is raised? Why are these equilibria exothermic in the forward direction? Of the two equilibria, II III and III IV, the position of one is sensitive to the overall concentration of active species, and the other is not. Which is which?

The two equilibria, II →III and III eV are both exothermic in the forward (rightward) direction.
Which way are the two equilibria shifted as temperature is raised? Why are these equilibria
exothermic in the forward direction?
Of the two equilibria, II III and III IV, the position of one is sensitive to the overall
concentration of active species, and the other is not. Which is which?
