Chapter 5, Problem 5.19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The free-radical chain mechanism that shows the propagation steps for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The general steps involved in the free-radical chain mechanism are as follows:

• The first step is the initiation step.

• The next step is the propagation step.

• The third step is the termination step.

Some reactions proceed through a chain mechanism involving radicals, which are highly reactive species with one or more unpaired electrons. The radicals are produced in initiation steps, through either thermal or photodissociation. Reactions in which the radical centre is transferred are called propagation steps. The radicals are lost in termination steps. Consider the following chain mechanism:(1) AH → A + H·(2) A → B· + C(3) AH + B· → A + D(4) A + B· → P(a) Identify the initiation, propagation, and termination steps.(b) Use the steady-state approximation to deduce that the decompositionof AH is f irst-order in AH.
