The following mechanism has been proposed for the reaction:
C,H5COOH =
CH;CO,H;
fast; constants k,and k_1)
C,HsCO2H
e CgH5CO* + H20
(fast, constants kɔand k-2)
C,H;CO + HX
+ H20
C,H,NH, + N2 + CO2
(slow; constant k,)
A. What intermediate(s) are formed in this mechanism?
B. What is the rate law, based on the above mechanism?
C. The overall rate constant for this reaction is 0.200 x 10 L mol's. Is this value consistent with your answer to B?
Explain.
D. Sketch a reaction-energy diagram consistent with the above mechanism and the enthalpy change calculated earlier.
Label the enthalpy change and each transition state. Explain the appearance of your graph.
