2-Chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water in three steps to yield 2-methyl2-propanol

Chapter 6, Problem 6.35

(choose chapter or problem)

2-Chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water in three steps to yield 2-methyl2-propanol. The first step is slower than the second, which in turn is much slower than the third. The reaction takes place slowly at room temperature,and the equilibrium constant is near 1.+ +HHO+ C ClCH3H3CCH3C OHCH3H3CCH3CCH3H3CCH3C+CH3H3CCH3H2OH2OH3O+ Cl2-Chloro-2-ethylpropane2-ethyl-2-propanol(a) Give approximate values for DG and DG that are consistent with theabove information.(b) Draw an energy diagram for the reaction, labeling all points of interestand making sure that the relative energy levels on the diagram areconsistent with the information given.
