kinetically stable?

What does that mean

[Jacob Puchalski 1G]

Basically the activation energy (the hump part of the graph) is high enough so that under normal conditions the reaction won't proceed.

[205007651]

This just means the reaction energy barrier is very high and but deltaG is negative

[Sydney Myers 4I]

The conditions of the reaction will not favor the occurrence of the reaction, even if the reaction is spontaneous thermodynamically.

[SarahCoufal_1k]

The energy barrier (the hump) is really large so it would take a lot of energy to do the reaction so it's most likely to stay as the reactant.

[Caroline Zepecki]

Means that it's stable enough to stay in reactant form- basically has a high energy barrier but still a negative G value.

[405268063]

I believe this means that the reaction's delta G is negative so it is technically spontaneous, but the reaction won't normally proceed because it has such a high activation energy.

[Jasmine W 1K]

It is thermodynamically spontaneous because delta G is negative, but it won't proceed normally because it has such a high activation energy.

[Lauren Stack 1C]

To be stable, the reaction will have a negative deltaG value, so it is technically spontaneous. Although, there is a very large activation energy which prevents it from proceeding. Thus, it is kinetically trapped in reactant form.

[Tahlia Mullins]

This means the the activation energy, the hump in the reaction profile, is very high.

[Mitchell Koss 4G]

High Ea means that it takes a great deal of energy to start rxn so it is stable at standard conditions
