QUESTION 11 While examining radical halogenation reactions, we saw that different "reaction pathways" lead to the formation of different products. How does the difference in energy between the activation barriers of rate-determining steps (AAGI) for these pathways affect the selectivity of the reactions and the products that are produced? O A. The bigger the difference in energy between activation barriers results in a more selective reaction. The reaction is relatively "clean" and mostly produces one product. O B. The bigger the difference in energy between activation barriers results in a less selective reaction. The reaction is "messy" and produces a more equivalent mixture of products. O C. The smaller the difference in energy between activation barriers results in a less selective reaction. The reaction is relatively "clean" and mostly produces one product. O D. The smaller the difference in energy between activation barriers results in a more selective reaction. The reaction is…

True or False. If false, correct to make a true statement. 1. The rate constant for a reaction which follows 2nd order kinetics does not depend on concentration. 2. The half life of a reaction (for the cases we've studied) is always inversely proportional to the rate constant. 3. If graphed over time, the concentration of a reactant will be linear for a reaction which follows first order kinetics. 4. A reaction with a constant half-life of 25 seconds is being studied. There is only one reactant with an initial concentration of 0.800 M. After 75 seconds, the molarity is found to be 0.200 M.
