Potential energy profiles for the uncatalyzed and catalyzed ester hydrolysis pathways.
Potential energy profiles for the uncatalyzed and catalyzed ester hydrolysis pathways.
The potential energy profiles for the aqueous hydrolysis of an ester in the presence and absence of an acid catalyst are shown in the diagram below.

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOCH}_3\text{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COOH(aq)} + \text{CH}_3\text{OH(aq)} \]

Which of the following statements is best supported by the reaction energy profiles?
