Chapter 3, Problem 45P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The diagram for comparison of reactions of bromine radical with primary and secondary hydrogens of propane needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The transition state which is early and which is late needs to be identified.

Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The transition state in case of bromine radical will show a greater or lesser radical character than the chlorine radical needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether the answer in part (c) is consistent with the selectivity difference between the reaction of chloride and bromide radical and propane or not needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The primary hydrogen atom in an alkane is the atom bonded to the terminal carbon atom. Whereas, the secondary hydrogen atom is hydrogen atom bonded to the central or non-terminal carbon atoms in an alkane.

What is the molar mass of a gas that takes three times longer to effuse than helium?
First image: I have to show the mecanism (with arows and structures) of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary Second image: I have to show the mecanism (with arrows and structures) for the reaction on the left, where the alcohol A is added fast in one portion its not an exam
