    There are 3 questions in the document. For question 1, the reaction from A to D has 4 steps, there are 2 transition states, step B to C is the slowest, and step A to B and C to D are the fastest. Step A to B and C to D are endothermic, while B to C and B to D are exothermic. For question 2, the reaction of C3H7Br + NaNH2 to C3H6 + NH3 + NaBr occurs in a single step and is overall exothermic. For question 3, the overall reaction is H2 + CO → H2CO. There are 3 steps, with the slow

    1. Based on the following reaction profile:

    B
    D
    A

    Reaction Coordinate

    a. How many steps are in the reaction going from A to D?

    b. How many transition states are there?

    c. Which step is the slowest?

    d. Which step is the fastest?

    e. Identify the following as exothermic or endothermic.

    A B B C C D

    A C A D B D
    2. A key organic reaction is

    C3H7Br + NaNH2 C3H6 + NH3 + NaBr

    The reaction occurs by a single step mechanism and is exothermic overall. Draw a
    potential energy diagram for this reaction. Be sure to include all necessary identities such
    as Ea, H, TS, reactants, products, etc.

    3. Consider the three step mechanism for a reaction is proposed for the synthesis of
    formaldehyde:
    Step 1 H2 2H fast endothermic
    Step 2 H + CO HCO slow, endothermic
    Step 3 H + HCO H2CO fast, exothermic

    The reaction is overall exothermic.


    a. What is the overall reaction?

    Draw a potential energy diagram for this reaction. Be sure to include all necessary
    identities such as Ea, H, TS, reactants, products, etc.
