The mechanism of the reaction
The mechanism of the reaction is as follows: Step 1: Atom [A] adds to the bond of Atom [C], forming an intermediate product [AC]. This step is endothermic, with an activation energy of [Ea1]. $$ \ce{A + C -> AC}[Ea1] $$ Step 2: Atom [C] reacts with Atom [D] to form Atom [AD] and break…
