Kinetic & Thermodynamic Control - Med School Coach MCAT Prep

When comparing thermodynamic vs kinetic product, which is more stable?

thermodynamic

Thermodynamic vs kinetic product, which one forms more slowly?

thermodynamic

Which pathway involves greater activation energy, the one leading to the thermodynamic or kinetic product?

thermodynamic product pathway

The ____ product is favored by higher temperatures.

thermodynamic

The ____ product is favored by longer reaction times.

thermodynamic

If you're given a problem where more than 1 product can be formed (thermodynamic vs kinetic), what should you consider ?

- difference in product stabilities

- differences in activation energies

- conditions - temperature, reaction time

The ___ product is less stable.

kinetic

The ____ product is formed faster.

kinetic

The pathway to the ____ product involves lower Ea.

kinetic

If there isn't enough Ea to exceed the Ea barrier for a thermodynamic product, you're stuck with

making the kinetic product only

This product is usually made if there is short reaction time.

kinetic

The ____ product is favored with low temperature.

kinetic

The ____ product is favored with short reaction time.
