In a synthesis, reactant S can form two products, A and B, via two competing pathways. Textual energy-profile description (no numerical values):
  • The pathway to A has a higher activation energy than the pathway to B.
  • Product A is lower in energy (more stable) than product B.
The reaction is carried out at high temperature for a long time in a closed system, allowing the mixture to approach equilibrium. Which statement best describes the favored product and control under these conditions?
