Thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction alone cannot decide the rate of the reaction. Explain with the help of one example.

Solution

Thermodynamically the conversion or diamond to graphite is highly feasible but this reaction is very slow because its activation energy is high. Hence, the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction alone cannot decide the rate of reaction.
