Question: A proposed mechanism for a reaction is C4H9Br C4H9+ + Br2 Slow C4H9+ + H2O C4H9OH2+ Fast C4H9OH2+ + H2O C4H9OH +

A proposed mechanism for a reaction is
C4H9Br → C4H9+ + Br2 Slow
C4H9+ + H2O → C4H9OH2+ Fast
C4H9OH2+ + H2O → C4H9OH + H3O+ Fast
Write the rate law expected for this mechanism. What is the overall balanced equation for the reaction? What are the intermediates in the proposed mechanism?
