Assume that the following reaction is a single-step reaction in which a C–Br bond is broken as the C–I bond is formed. The heat of reaction is +38 kJ/mol.
I–(aq) + CH3Br(aq) + 38 kJ → CH3I(aq) + Br–(aq)
Â
a. List the three requirements that must be met before a reaction between I– and CH3Br is likely to take place.
Â
b. Explain why, in the process of this reaction, it is usually necessary for the new C–I bonds to form at the same time that the C–Br bonds are broken.
Â
c. Explain why a collision between an I– ion and a CH3Br molecule must have a certain minimum energy (activation energy) in order to proceed to products.
