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)
a. List the three requirements that must be met before a reaction between I– and CH3Br is likely to take place.
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.
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.
