Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Reaction Profile

The reaction profile shows the change in enthalpy (H) as the reaction progresses along the reaction coordinate. Peaks represent transition states, and valleys represent intermediates.

Step 2: Identifying Transition States

Transition states are the highest points on the reaction profile. In this diagram, points 2 and 4 are the transition states.

Step 3: Identifying Intermediates

Intermediates are the species that exist at the local minima between transition states. In this diagram, point 3 is the intermediate.
