Consider the reaction: [Co(NH3)3(H20)]* + X → [Co(NH3)sX]{+ + H20 (1) Is this an electron transfer or a substitution reaction? Justify your answer. [2 marks] (i) The reaction rate changes by less than a factor of 2 when X is varied among CI, Br, N3 , and SCN . What does this observation say about the reaction mechanism? [4 marks]
