Question
A mechanism that has been proposed for the conversion of 2-methylpropene to tert-butyl alcohol in acidic aqueous solution is:
step 1 slow: (CH3)2C=CH, + H*.
→(CH3)3C*
step 2 fast. (CH3)3C* + H20 -
→ (CH3)3COH + H*
(1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.
(2) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank:
(3) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism.
(Use the form k[A]"B]".. , where '1' is understood (so don't write it) for m, n etc.)
Rate =
