Question

The diagram below (the one on the right) represents the reaction written above it (on top of the picture). Assign each step with a reactant, a product or an intermediate. Also, draw the transition state for each step. Keep in mind that it is easier to neutralize charges than to create some. Nevermind what is handwritten on the picture.

NOTE: THERE IS 2 STEPS (2 ARROWS) IN THE REACTION, therefore there is 2 bumps on the diagram & 2 transition states (that is what my teacher told me, but still i'm not sure how to write it).

Explanation / Answer

There are three molecules in this two step reaction. The second figure explains the energy diagram of this reaction.

There are two peaks in this picture, for the lower peak, rectant is the satrting molecule, intermediate is the second molecule, and the product is the third molecule (for the largest peak).
