Identify the products of a reaction under kinetic control. a. The most stable product. b. The product whose formation requires the smallest free energy of activation. c. The product that can be formed in the fewest steps. d. The product that is formed at the fastest rate. e. None of these.

Option (b) and (d) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

Kinetic products are defined as the products which contain a terminal double bond and the reaction is irreversible in nature.

Kinetic controlled products are formed faster because these tend to lower the activation energy. Due to this molecules with less energy are also able to participate in the reaction.

Therefore, rate of reaction increases leading to rapid formation of products.

Therefore, we can conclude that the products of a reaction under kinetic control are product that is formed at the fastest rate and product whose formation requires the smallest free energy of activation.

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
