Chapter 6, Problem 6.44P

Draw an energy diagram for the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{H}$ with ${}^{-}\text{OC}{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}$ to

form ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CO}}_2{}^{-}$ and ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\text{COH}$. Label the axes, starting materials, products, $\text{ΔH°}$, and $E_{\text{a}}$. Draw the structure of the transition state.
