Question
Answer the following questions regarding the nucleophilic substitution reaction shown below: CH3CH2CH2-Br + I- ------> CH3CH2CH2I + Br- (a) Write the rate law for this reaction assuming that it is a one step reaction that is first order in each of the reactants. (b) Holding the concentration of the iodide ion constant, what change would be observed in the rate if the concentration of the n- propyl bromide was tripled? (b) Assume that this is an exothermic reaction, draw the energy profile and identify the location of the transition state. (c) Draw the transition state for this reaction. (d) What change is observed for the entropy of the system during this reaction? (e) Show the likely mechanism of this reaction using the proper curved arrows
