Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products of the proton transfer reaction shown below are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In proton transfer reaction, a Bronsted-Lowry base reacts with a Bronsted-Lowry acid. The Bronsted-Lowry acid donates a proton and forms a conjugate base while the Bronsted-Lowry base accepts a proton and forms a conjugate acid. The proton transfer reaction consists of a single elementary step.
(b)
Interpretation:
A free energy diagram for the following reaction, indicating whether it is endothermic or exothermic, is to be drawn.
