Problem
For a one-step reaction, the potential energy along the reaction coordinate passes through four labeled points in the following order:
• Point W (0 kJ)
• Point X (85 kJ)
• Point Y (–30 kJ)
• Point Z (–30 kJ)
Which point corresponds to the transition state of the reaction?
(a) Point Y
(b) Point X
(c) Point W
(d) Point Z
