ANSWER:Solution:
The reaction coordinate diagram is given below, here we have to answer the given questions,
Step 1
a.Here we will have to find out how many intermediates are formed in the reaction.
Intermediate is defined as the chemical species, which is the product for one step of reaction and reactant for the next step of reaction.
Thus, the given reaction coordinate diagram has two intermediate states,C and E.
