(a) Sketch a potential energy/reaction coordinate graph showing the two propagation steps for the monobromination of pentane to give the major product (Problem 30). Use DH° information from this chapter (Tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-4, as appropriate).

(b) Indicate the locations of the transition states and whether each is early or late.

(c) Sketch a similar graph for reaction of pentane with I2. How does it differ from the graph for bromination?
