Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products of the proton transfer reaction shown below is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a proton transfer reaction, Bronsted-Lowry base reacts with Bronsted-Lowry acid. Here, Bronsted-Lowry acid donates a proton and forms a conjugate base while 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.
