Question
![**Question 1**
**What is the rate-determining step in the following reaction?**
Reaction:
\[ \text{CH}_3 \]
\[ \begin{array}{c}
\\
\text{C} \\
\\
\end{array}
\]
\[ \begin{array}{c}
\text{CH}_3 \\
\text{CHCH}_3 + \text{HBr} \\
\text{CH}_3 \text{OH} \\
\end{array}
\]
**Process:**
Heat applied
---
**Options:**
1. Rearrangement of a secondary carbocation into a tertiary carbocation
2. Formation of secondary carbocation
3. Formation of primary carbocation
4. There is no rate-determining step because the reaction is concerted
5. Formation of tertiary carbocation](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8d870417-90fa-4e90-962a-13f10d87b3a0%2F12bdb60c-689e-42bd-a78d-376f2f6a936e%2Ft8e1miy_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
