Chapter 4.3C, Problem 4.4P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason as to why there is difference in the yields of $1-\text{chlorohexane}$ and $\text{chlorocyclohexane}$.

Interpretation: The reason as to why there is difference in the yields of $1-\text{chlorohexane}$ and $\text{chlorocyclohexane}$ 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. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The ratio of reactants (cyclohexane and chlorine) that would be used for the synthesis of chlorocyclohexane.

Interpretation: The ratio of reactants (Cyclohexane and chlorine) that would be used for the synthesis of chlorocyclohexane is to be predicted.
