Consider a reaction that occurs by the following mechanism: A +
BC → AC + B AC + D → A + CD Assuning that the reaction follows the
potential energy profile shown below, which of the following
statements is/are true? (i) The second step of the mechanism is
faster than the first step. (ii) The first step of the mechanism is
endothermic, and the second step is exothermic. (iii) The overall
reaction is endothermic because the first step has a higher
activation energy Ea than the second step does.
