Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of ΔH° for the rate determining step of the reaction of CH4 with I2 is to be calculated. The reason corresponding to the fact that this reaction is extremely slow is to be explained.

Concept introduction: Halogens react with alkanes in presence of heat or light to form alkyl halides. This is known as halogenation reaction. This is a free radical substitution reaction. In these reactions, the halogen substitutes the hydrogen atom from CH sigma bond of the alkane.
