The given observations are to be explained by the halogenation mechanism. Concept Introduction: ▸ Keto and enol form of carbonyl compounds are constitutional isomers. Inter-convertible keto and enol forms are tautomer. ▸ An enol and enolates can be formed by replacing the hydrogen at the α carbon. ▸ The α hydrogen can undergo halogen substitution at the α carbon in the presence of an acid and a base. ▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of an acid it is called as acid catalyzed halogenation reaction. ▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of a base it is called as base prompted halogenation reaction. ▸ In the base prompted halogenation reaction and acid catalyzed halogenation reaction slows rates are independent from the concentration of the halogens. ▸ The equimolar mixture of two enantiomers are called a racemic mixture. ▸ Racemization takes place at α hydrogen in the presence of acids or bases.

Question

3. Titanium(III) chloride can be used to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene. It is prepared by hydrogen reduction of Titanium(IV) chloride. Reaction of hydrogen gas with titanium(IV) chloride gas produces solid titanium(III) chloride and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a BALANCED chemical reaction for the preparation of titanium(III) chloride (b) A 250 L reaction vessel at 325°C is filled with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 1.3 atm. Titanium(IV) chloride is then added to bring the total pressure to 3.00 atm. How many grams of titanium(III) chloride will be produced after completion of the reaction? (c) What will be the pressure of the resulting hydrogen chloride gas that is also produced?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given observations are to be explained by the halogenation mechanism.

Concept Introduction:

▸ Keto and enol form of carbonyl compounds are constitutional isomers. Inter-convertible keto and enol forms are tautomer.

▸ An enol and enolates can be formed by replacing the hydrogen at the α carbon.

▸ The α hydrogen can undergo halogen substitution at the α carbon in the presence of an acid and a base.

▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of an acid it is called as acid catalyzed halogenation reaction.

▸ When halogen substitution reaction takes place in the presence of a base it is called as base prompted halogenation reaction.

▸ In the base prompted halogenation reaction and acid catalyzed halogenation reaction slows rates are independent from the concentration of the halogens.

▸ The equimolar mixture of two enantiomers are called a racemic mixture.

▸ Racemization takes place at α hydrogen in the presence of acids or bases.
