Term

Plot the Gibbs free energy of a catalyzed exothermic reaction over the reaction

coordinate. Label the energies of the products and reactants. Plot superposed what

the uncatalyzed reaction might look like. Show the transition state Gibbs free energy

(∆G‡

) for the uncatalyzed reaction and for the catalyzed reaction (∆G‡

cat). Show also

the changes in Gibbs free energy ∆G and ∆Gcat for the reaction.
