Consider the following SN2 reaction:

a.  Draw a mechanism using curved arrows.

b.  Draw an energy diagram. Label the axes, the reactants, products, Ea, and .Assume that the reaction is exothermic.

c.  Draw the structure of the transition state.

d.  What is the rate equation?

e.  What happens to the reaction rate in each of the following instances? [1] The leaving group is changed from Br- to I-; [2] The solvent is changed from acetone to CH3CH2OH; [3] The alkyl halide is changed from CH2(CH2)4Br to CH3CH2CH2CH(Br)CH3; [4] The concentration of -CN is increased by a factor of five; and [5] The concentrations of both the alkyl halide and -CN are increased by a factor of five.
