Interpretation:
The number of elementary steps in the mechanism represented by the given free energy diagram is to be determined. The number of locations in the energy diagram that represent intermediates is to be determined. The locations of the overall reactants (R), intermediates (I), transition states (TS), and overall products (P) on the diagram are to be marked.
Concept introduction:
For a mechanism that contains n total elementary steps, there must be n total transition states. Because an intermediate is located in between two transition states, there must be n – 1 locations in the energy diagram that represent intermediates. Transition states are present at energy maxima. Intermediates appear at energy minima.

- Clearly label the energy diagram below when answering each part. If there is more than one specific type of label, give an appropriate number afterwards (i.e. Int. 1, Int. 2, etc). State how many step(s) are in the overall reaction, if more than one, clearly label where they start and end Identify the rate determining step (rds) Label all transition state(s) (TS) Label all intermediate(s) (Int.) Label all activation energy(ies) (Ea) Label the heat of the reaction (ΔH) State whether the overall reaction is endothermic or exothermic. please explaing each step.

If the cation intermediate is the same in energy on the reaction coordinate diagram, how do different products form selectively? Alkene stability dictates the reaction. Reaction conditions control which product is formed. The transition state: once the new bonds start to form, the cations are no longer in resonance and the transition states become different in energy. Activation energy distinguishes the products.arrow_forward5. Give all the product(s) (label major and minor), reaction description (SN1, SN2, E1, or E2), and rate law (equation) for each reaction.

- Predict the relative rates of these reactions. That is, select 1 next to the reaction with the fastest rate, 2 next to the reaction with the next fastest rate, and so on. Note for advanced students: you may assume these reactions all take place in a polar aprotic solvent, like DMSO. ( Choose one) Predict the relative rates of these reactions.
