4. Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene") and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. a. Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.

Write why is True if the statement conforms to the concept of rate law and also write why is False if it does not. 1. Rate law states that overall order of reaction can be determined by adding the reactionorders of the reactants.reactant concentration.3. All reactions proceed at the same rate.4. The balanced equation can be used to determine the rate of reaction.5. The slowly reactive or unreactive speciesin a reaction can be identified using rate law.

Sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for a chemical reaction with and without a catalyst. Assume the uncatalyzed reaction is endothermic. Note: Because the sketches are only qualitative, the energies in them don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.
