Chapter 3, Problem 21P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products obtained after monochlorination of pentane and 3-methylpentane at 25 °C should be written.

Concept introduction: The monobromination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via a radical chain mechanism.

Tertiary C – H bonds react in halogenations more readily than secondary those, in turn, are faster to react than primary. This can be attributed to the stability of radicals formed upon C – H bond cleavage via hyperconjugation.

The phenomenon of hyperconjugation refers to the donation of σ electrons into the partly vacant p orbital lobes of radical carbon. More will be the number of σ orbital capable of donation of electrons more is the stabilization.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ratios of the products obtained after monochlorination of pentane and 3-methylpentane at 25 °C should be written.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The bond enthalpies involved in propagation steps of chlorination of 3-methylpentane should be calculated.

Concept introduction: The monochlorination performed with ultraviolet light proceeds via radical chain mechanism. Chlorine transforms CH4 into chloromethane as the major halogenated product with variety of side products due to various possibility of chain termination.

The formula to calculate ΔH° from bond dissociation of reactants and products is as follows:

  ΔH°=Sum of DH° of bonds brokenSum of DH° of bonds formed

here is my question can u help me please!
So I need help with understanding how to solve these types of problems. I'm very confused on how to do them and what it is exactly, bonds and so forth that I'm drawing. Can you please help me with this and thank you very much!
