Question
Determine the rate law of the over all reaction from the mechanism and determine the intermediates in this mechanism
Section 2: (20 points) : Consider the following exothermic reaction at 25.0 °C:
(CH3)3CB (aq) + H,O (l) → (CH3)3COH (aq) + Br (aq) + H* (aq)
The following mechanism was obtained for this reaction:
Step 1: (CH3);CBr → (CH3);C* (aq) + Br (aq)
Ea = 89.6 kJ/mol
Step 2: (CH3)3C* (aq) + H2O (1) → (CH3);COH," (aq)
Ea = 60.3 kJ/mol
Step 3: (CH3);COH,* (aq) → H* (aq) + (CH3)3COH (aq)
Ea = 45.0 kJ/mol
