**SN1 Mechanism: Identification of Species and Reaction Steps**In the SN1 mechanism depicted, our task is to:(a) Identify each species as an overall reactant, overall product, or intermediate.(b) Sum the steps to yield the overall reaction.**Step-by-Step Breakdown:**1. **Initial Molecule:** - The starting compound features a bromine atom (Br) connected to a carbon chain. The Br is indicated to leave, as shown by the curved arrow.2. **Formation of a Carbocation:** - Upon Br leaving, a carbocation intermediate is formed, represented by a positively charged carbon.3. **Substitution by Iodine Ion:** - An iodide ion (I⁻) is then shown donating a pair of electrons (indicated by a curved arrow) to form a bond with the carbocation, resulting in the formation of the main product.**Key Components:**- **Overall Reactant:** The original molecule with bromine.- **Intermediate:** The carbocation formed after bromine leaves.- **Overall Product:** The final compound with iodine substituted for bromine.**Purpose of Distinction:**Understanding the difference between intermediates and overall reactants/products helps clarify which species can be isolated during the reaction process.

I'm not really sure how to approach this problem. I thought you could substitute the half life equation into the integrated equation for first order reactions, but that didn't work.
1.) Re-draw the reaction coordinate and label the products, the reactants, and the transition state. 2.) Calculate AH xn 3.) Calculate E. 4.) What is the energy of the transition state (with units)? 5.) Classify the reaction as exothermic or endothermic. 6.) Add arrows showing the AHxn and E. 7.) Is the reaction strongly exo/endo-thermic? Why or why not? 8.) Would you expect this reaction to be fast or slow? Why or why not? 50 43.47 40 30 25.96 20 12.42 10 AE kJ/mol
