Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for the following reaction in which C is the most stable and B is the least stable of the three species and the transition state going from A to B is more stable than the transition state going from B to C:

a. How many intermediates are there?


b. How many transition states are there?


c. Which step has the greater rate constant in the forward direction?


d. Which step has the greater rate constant in the reverse direction?


e. Of the four steps, which has the greatest rate constant?


f. Which is the rate-determining step in the forward direction?


g. Which is the rate-determining step in the reverse direction?
