Chapter 18, Problem 18.49P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained why the given reaction proceeds dramatically more slowly under the neutral conditions than under either acidic or basic conditions.

Concept introduction:

The rate of a reaction depends on the free energy of activation, which is donated by ΔGo*. Lesser the energy barrier, lower will be the energy of activation and consequently faster will be the reaction. The electrostatic attraction between the nucleophile and electrophile is weakest under neutral conditions. Under basic conditions, the nucleophile acquires a full negative charge whereas under acidic conditions, the partial positive charge on the carbonyl carbon increases.

Although CH4 reacts with Cl2 to form CH3Cl and HCl, the corresponding reaction of CH4 with I2 does not occur at an appreciable rate, even though the I–I bond is much weaker than the Cl–Cl bond. Explain why this is so.
For the reaction shown, the rate of reaction when X=Cl is about the same as that when X=Br. Based on this information, which statement represents a valid deduction concerning the mechanism of this reaction? OCH2CH3 O2N NO2 NO2 (A) This is a one-step displacement reaction (B) The reaction proceeds via a benzyne intermediate (C) The C-X bond is broken in the rate-determining step (D) The C-X bond is NOT broken in the rate-determining step O2N OCH,CH3 NO2 NO2
TRUE or FALSE: For a transition state to be considered as the rate- determining step (rds) in a multi-step reaction, it must have the highest change in enthalpy.
