A certain reaction involves the following two-step reaction mechanism:
LM + N → NM + L
NM + O → MO + N
The energy diagram for the reaction is given below:
Determine whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. Provide the labels in the diagram that represents the energy of the reaction (ΔE) and the overall reaction's activation energy (Ea).
