Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 48PS
The mechanism for the reaction of CH3OH and HBr is believed to involve two steps. The overall reaction is exothermic.
Step 1: Fast, endothermic
CH3OH + H+ ⇄ CH3OH2+
Step 2: Slow
CH3OH2+ + Br− → CH3Br + H2O
- (a) Write an equation for the overall reaction.
- (b) Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction.
- (c) Show that the rate law for this reaction is Rate = k[CH3OH][H+][Br−].
