Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The point on the profile that representsthe potential energy of the transition state for the first step, second step and the intermediate ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{+}{\text{I}}^{-}$ in the reaction are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Potential energy diagram is the graphical representation of the energy changes that takes place during a chemical reaction.
