Chapter 4.14, Problem 4.23P

1. a. Compute the heats of reaction for abstraction of a primary hydrogen and a secondary hydrogen from propane by a fluorine radical.

   CH₃—CH₂—CH₃ + F· → CH₃—CH₂—CH₂ + HF

   CH₃ — CH₂ — CH₃+F· → CH₃—CH—CH₃ + HF

2. b. How selective do you expect free-radical fluorination to be?
3. c. What product distribution would you expect to obtain from the free-radical fluorination of propane?
