- The reaction A → C proceeds by a stepwise mechanism: A → B, overall ΔE = 73 kJ/mol; Ea = 97 kJ/mol B → C, overall Δ E = -103 kJ/mol; Ea = 132 kJ/mol Which step is rate-determining?arrow_forwardrate law for hte reaction : RX + H20→ R0H + HX , rate =K[RX]. the rate of reaction will be doubled when: (a) concentration of H2O is doubled (b)concentration of RX is reduced to half (c) concentration of RX is doubled (d) none of these also give reason for your answerarrow_forwardHow does the mechanism look like to get to this product? The molecular formula of the product of the following reaction is C6H11N.arrow_forward
- what is the mechanism for each of these 5 reactions?arrow_forward3-Chloro-1-butene reacts with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to produce 3-ethoxy-1- butene. The reaction is second order, first order in 3-chloro-1-butene, and first order in sodium ethoxide. In the absence of sodium ethoxide, 3-chloro-1-butene reacts with ethanol to produce both 3-ethoxy-1-butene and 1-ethoxy-2-butene. Explain these results.arrow_forwardWhat is the rate at which Br-(aq) disappears in the reaction below if the rate of disapperance of BrO3-(aq) is 0.028M/s? Bro3-+5Br-+6h+gives you 3Br+3H20arrow_forward
- The following is a concerted, bimolecular reaction: CH3Br + NaCN → CH3CN + NaBr. a.What is the rate equation for this reaction? b.What happens to the rate of the reaction if [CH3Br] is doubled? c.What happens to the rate of the reaction if [NaCN] is halved? d.What happens to the rate of the reaction if [CH3Br] and [NaCN] are both increased by a factor of five?arrow_forwardNote: Use k to represent the rate constant and place brackets [ ] arounds the molecular or atomic formula to designate concentration. Do not include spaces anywhere in your answers. The rate triples when [BrO] triples. When [BrO] is halved, the rate decreases by a factor of 4. The rate is unchanged when [BrO] is tripled.arrow_forwardThe following alcohols react with HBr to afford an alkyl bromide. Based on their structures, indicate if the reaction mechanism is likely to be Sn1 or Sn2arrow_forward
- The mechanism that allows the exothermic hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride to form t-butyl alcohol and chloride ion is as follows: (CH3)3CCl → (CH3)3C+ + Cl− (CH3)3C+ + H2O → (CH3)3COH + H+ Draw the transition state for each step.arrow_forwardCompound A reacts with B in the presence of sodium hydride to give C as the majority product.1. Give the detailed mechanism of the formation of C and draw the product C in the box above.2. Draw the energy diagram of the reaction. Indicate with an arrow the rate-determining step of the reaction then draw its transition state3.The rate of the reaction observed is 5 x 10-2 M.s-1 when the concentrations of A and B are 0.2 M and 0.1 M respectively.Determine the rate of the reaction if the concentrations of A and B are now 0.3 M and 0.2 M respectively. Show your calculationarrow_forwardSketch a reaction coordinate diagram for a two-step reaction that is overall exergonic. The first step is the rate-determining step and is endergonic. On your reaction coordinate diagram clearly label: reactants, products, intermediates, ΔG‡ for each step, ΔG for the overall reaction, and all transition states.arrow_forward
