Question

The reaction between (CH3)3CBr and N3 is thought to proceed via the following mechanism. Do not make any assumptions about which step is rate determining.

a) Derive the rate law for the reaction starting from an expression for the rate of consumption of (CH3)3CI.

b) Derive the rate law for the reaction starting from an expression for the rate of consumption of N3.

c) Briefly comment on whether the results from parts a) and b) are consistent with each other.

d) Sketch, and label properly, the reaction profile for this mechanism given that the observed rate law for this reaction is Rate = k [(CH3)3CI].
