- Consider the following energy plots for a chemical reaction when answering the questions below. a. Which plot (purple or blue) is the catalyzed pathway? How do you know? b. What does E1 represent? c. What does E2 represent? d. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwarda) Sketch the energy diagram for the conversion of tertiary butyl bromide to methyl t-butyl ether. Note that this is a two step reaction with the t-butyl cation as an intermediate. Assume that this is overall an exothermic reaction. Show the location of both transition states and the intermediate. The first step has the higher energy of activation and is the rate determining step. (CH3)3C-Br ------> (CH3)3C+ + Br- (CH3)3C+ + H3CO- ------> (CH3)3C-O-CH3 (b)Draw the curved arrow mechanism and the transition state when the tertiary butyl carbocation reacts with the methoxide ion to give an ether. (CH3)3C+ + H3CO- ------> (CH3)3C-O-CH3arrow_forwardFor the reaction CH 3 Br (aq) + OH - (aq) → CH 3 OH (aq) + Br- (aq) it is known that when the concentration of OH - doubles, the reaction rate doubles. When the concentration of CH 3 Br increases 1.2 times, the reaction rate increases 1.2 times. Write the rate equation for the reactionarrow_forward
- 1. A chemist wishes to determine the rate of reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid. The equation for the reaction is: Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq) → H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq) It is determined that the rate of Zn consumption is -0.00040 mol/s. What would be the rate of HCl consumption Answer to 6 decimal places 2. A chemist wishes to determine the rate of reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid. The equation for the reaction is: Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq) → H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq) If initially there was 0.00400 moles of Zn and after 17 s there was 0.00160 moles of zinc, what is the rate of reaction in moles of Zn consumed per second?

- When a small amount of iodine is added to a mixture of chlorine and methane, it prevents chlorination from occurring. Therefore, iodine is a free-radical inhibitor for this reaction. Calculate ∆H° values for the possible reactions of iodine with species present in the chlorination of methane, and use these values to explain why iodine inhibits the reaction. (The I¬Cl bond-dissociation enthalpy is 211 kJ>mol or 50 kcal>mol.)arrow_forward1. Write the mechanism for the bromination of ethane.2.
