Kinetic Vs. Thermodynamic Products Flashcards
1
Q
When is a kinetic product favored?
A
under non equilibrium, irreversible conditions
2
Q
How can the parameters of a reaction be manipulated to favor the kinetic product?
A
1) shorten reaction time
2) use strong base
3) decrease temperature
3
Q
How does the kinetic product manifest on a graph?
A
Kinetic product is lower in activation energy
4
Q
When is the thermodynamic product favored?
A
When conditions favor reversibility and equilibrium
5
Q
How can reaction parameters be manipulated to favor the kinetic product?
A
1) lengthen reaction time
2) use milder base
3) use high temp
