In a reaction progress curve, which point on the curve corresponds to an intermediate of the reaction?


the point at the far left of the curve

a valley between two peaks

the top of a peak

the point at the far right of the curve

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answers is a valley between two peaks

Explanation:

-B

Answer : The correct option is, a valley between two peaks

Explanation :

Reaction intermediate : It is defined as the short lived compound that is formed in a chemical reaction between the reactant and the desired products. The intermediate compounds are unstable compounds.

In a reaction progress curve, a valley between two peaks on the curve corresponds to an intermediate of the reaction. That means a valley between the two peaks of the transition state.

As per question,

The point at the far left of the curve  are the reactant.

The top of a peak  is the transition state.

The point at the far right of the curve are the product.

Hence, the correct option is, a valley between two peaks

The energy diagram are shown below.
