11. Draw a potential energy diagram for a two-step reaction in which the activation energies are 10 kcal/mol (first step) and 3 kcal/mole (second step), the intermediate is 5 kcal/mol higher in energy than the reactants, and the products are 1 kcal/mol lower in energy than the reactants. Label both axes and positions on the curve that correspond to reactants (R), the intermediate (I), transition states (TS₁, TS2), and products (P). Indicate the activation barriers with vertical lines and the labels Eat and Ea2.
