Question: Consider a hypothetical chemical reaction where molecule A reacts with molecule B to form molecule C. The reaction is exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat. However, the reaction is observed to have an extremely slow rate even at high temperatures. Propose a plausible explanation for this phenomenon and discuss potential strategies to accelerate the reaction rate.

Please help me with this organic chemistry question: which of the following compounds will react the quickest? A) Fluorine with a tertiary radical B) chlorine with a tertiary radical C) Bromine with a tertiary radical D) chlorine with primary radical E) Bromine with primary radical
Use arrow pushing to explain the given reaction
For a reversible reaction at an equilibrium: The rate of the reaction forward is the same as that of the reaction in reverse. The rate constant for the reaction forward is the same as that for the reverse. The free energy of substrate is the same as that of product. No conversion of substrate to product, and product to substrate occurs. Position of an equilibrium does not depend on substrate and product concentration , only on the magnitude of equilibrium constant.
Can you solve the question and make brief explanation please? part b
organic chemistry, please solve the second question only, quickly please
Which reaction occurs more quickly
Could you explain this with great detail?
Draw structural formulas for organic products A and B in the window below. Li Cul -Br pentane Draw only products having the organic portion of the original alkyl halide. • Draw carbon-lithium bonds using the single bond tool. If a structure has a copper-lithium bond, do not draw the lithium. • Separate products from different steps using the → sign from the drop-down menu.
What is the effect on the rate constant and reaction rate when reaction temperature is increased? The rate constant will be greater, and the reaction rate will be higher. The rate constant will be smaller, but the reaction rate will be higher. The rate constant will be smaller, and the reaction rate will be lower.
topic: catalyst affects the reaction rate Compare and contrast the different types of catalyst by using the terms below. Then draw a synthesis through a flow diagram chart. Low reaction rate High adaptability Easy control of mixing and concentration involves chemical reaction hydrolysis of sucrose with organic acid low reproductibility high reaction rate low adaptability difficult control of mixing and concentration energy in both reactants ammonia synthese high reproductibility
