3. You propose two reaction mechanisms for a reaction you are studying. You experimentally determine that the overall reaction is 1st order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and Oth order with respect to cyanide. Which mechanism(s) is/are valid? Explain your answer. Mechanism A Step 1: (CH3)3CBr (CH3)3C + Br -> Step 2: (CH3)3C + CN→ (CH3)3CCN Overall: (CH3)3CBr + CN→ (CH3)3CCN + Br Mechanism B Single-step: (CH) CBr + CN (CH) CCN + Br 4. On the axes below, draw the energy diagram of a one-step, exothermic reaction with an activation energy of 40 kJ/mol and a AH of -30 kJ/mol. Then, draw another curve corresponding to the reaction in the presence of a catalyst that reduces the activation energy by 20 kJ/mol. 100 80 80 00 10 Energy (kJ/mol) 20 20 reactants Reaction progress
