(b) The rate constant (in mol-1 dm3s-1) for the gas phase decomposition of HI (g), 2 HI(g) -H2(g) + 12(g) has been observed to be 2.50 x 10-5 at 423 °C and 3.00 x 10-5 at 443 °C. The rate constant (in mol-4 dm's-2) determined for the backward reaction is 6.15 x 10-6 at 487 °C and 8.00 x 10-6 at 507 °C. (i) Draw the energy versus reaction coordinate diagram for the forward and backward reactions (mark all the parameters that you have calculated). (12 marks)
