1. For the following energy diagram: a) Which product, A or B, is formed faster? Which product, A or B, is more stable?

Solution

a) Product A formed is faster due to lower activation energy. It is catalysed reaction. and rate of reaction is faster.

b) Product is B have high activation energy, lowering the stablity of intermediate.

So A is more stable than B.
