Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Balanced equation
HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻
(I must use HQ because the Brainly Editor thinks the O makes a forbidden word)
2. Mechanism
HQ⁻ + CH₃-Br ⟶[HQ···CH₃···Br]⁻⟶ HQ-CH₃ + Br⁻
A C B
The hydroxide ion attacks the back side of the carbon atom in the bromomethane (A).
At the same time as the Q-H bond starts to form, the C-Br bond starts to break.
At the half-way point, we have a high-energy intermediate (C) with partially formed C-O and C-Br bonds.
As the reaction proceeds further, the Br atom drops off to form the products — methanol and bromide ion (B).
3. Energy diagram
See the diagram below.
