- a. How many intermediates are there?
- b. How many transition states are there?
- c. Which step has the greater rote constant in the forward direction?
- d. Which step has the greater rate constant in the reverse direction?
- e. Of the four steps, which has the greatest rate constant?
- f. Which is the rote-determining step in the forward direction?
- g. Which is the rate-determining step in the reverse direction?

2. n-BuLi
• Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like.
• Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is.
• Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine.

Identify the missing organic reactants in the following reaction:
X + Y
H+
two steps
Note: This chemical equation only focuses on the important organic molecules in the reaction. Additional inorganic or small-molecule reactants or products
(like H2O) are not shown.
In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic reactants X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that
you like, so long as they aren't touching.
