You want to replace all the Br atoms in the following molecule with hydroxy (OH) groups, and you know there are two competing mechanisms by which this reaction can occur: Mechanism 1: A nucleophile can replace the Br atom in a concerted, bimolecular step. Highlight in red the Br atom that would be replaced quickest if the reaction went by this type of mechanism.. Mechanism 2: A nucleophile can replace the Br atom in several steps, the slowest of which is unimolecular. Highlight in blue the Br atom that would be replaced quickest if the reaction went by this type of mechanism. If you would highlight the same Br atom for both mechanisms, highlight it in green instead. Br Br Br X

Study the following reaction energy diagram: energy reactants Then answer the following questions about the chemical reaction. Does this reaction release or absorb energy? How many transition states occur during this reaction? Could this be an elementary reaction? If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then how many steps are in its mechanism? If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then enter the number of the step in its mechanism which is rate- determining. For example, if the first step is the rate- determining step, enter "1" here. 0 products release absorb neither yes no
11. Draw a potential energy diagram for a two-step reaction in which the activation energies are 10 kcal/mol (first step) and 3 kcal/mole (second step), the intermediate is 5 kcal/mol higher in energy than the reactants, and the products are 1 kcal/mol lower in energy than the reactants. Label both axes and positions on the curve that correspond to reactants (R), the intermediate (I), transition states (TS₁, TS₂), and products (P). Indicate the activation barriers with vertical lines and the labels Ea1 and Ea2.
