(a)
To determine: The reason for less knocking tendency of isooctane than n-heptane.
Interpretation: The reason for less knocking tendency of isooctane than n-heptane is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The
(b)
To determine: An equation that shows abstraction of a hydrogen atom from tert-butyl alcohol by alkyl free radical and explanation for working of tert-butyl alcohol as an antiknock additive for gasoline.
Interpretation: An equation that shows abstraction of a hydrogen atom from tert-butyl alcohol by alkyl free radical is to be written and explanation for working of tert-butyl alcohol as an antiknock additive for gasoline is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. Generally, the initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.
(c)
To determine: The explanation for high octane value of toluene and an equation that shows toluene react with an alkyl free radical to give relatively stable radical.
Interpretation: The explanation for high octane value of toluene and an equation that shows toluene react with an alkyl free radical to give relatively stable radical is to be stated.
