The correct statement regarding the following energy diagrams is

  1. A Reaction \(M\) is faster and less exothermic than reaction \(N\)
  2. B Reaction \(M\) is slower and less exothermic than reaction \(N\)
  3. C Reaction \(M\) is faster and more exothermic than reaction \(N\)
  4. D Reaction \(M\) is slower and more exothermic than reaction \(N\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Reaction \(M\) is faster and more exothermic than reaction \(N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In reaction \(M\) there is only an intermediate step. \(\\) 0\( it is a fast reaction. Further, in reaction \)M\( energy of product is much lesser than that of the reactant, as compared to as shown in reaction \)N\(. Thus reaction \)M…
