The chain reaction mechanism for the formation of
Concept introduction:
Radical halogenation is the reaction in which hydrogen atoms of
At normal temperature and pressure, chlorine and methane do not react with each other. The reaction is initiated by light or heat. When exposed to light,
The reaction that is initiated by light is more efficient because a very small amount of light photons allows a large number of products to be formed.

When bromomethane undergoes solvolysis in a solvent mixture composed of 90% water/10% acetone, the reaction rate is faster than when the same compound is solvolyzed in 80% water/20% acetone. Explain.
Answer the following questions regarding the nucleophilic substitution reaction shown below:
CH3CH2CH2-Br + I- ------> CH3CH2CH2I + Br-
(a) Write the rate law for this reaction assuming that it is a one step reaction that is first order in each of the reactants.
(b) Holding the concentration of the iodide ion constant, what change would be observed in the rate if the concentration of the n- propyl bromide was tripled?
(b) Assume that this is an exothermic reaction, draw the energy profile and identify the location of the transition state.
(c) Draw the transition state for this reaction.
(d) What change is observed for the entropy of the system during this reaction?
(e) Show the likely mechanism of this reaction using the proper curved arrows
Imagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid.
A) Phenol reacts much more quickly than benzene, and benzene reacts much more quickly that nitrobenzene. Explain this observation, using at least one appropriate reaction coordinate diagram as part of your answer (be sure to label your reaction diagram with appropriate structures). You do not need to include any complete mechanisms, but you may wish to use portions of mechanisms as part of your discussion.
