(a)
Interpretation:
A second chain propagation step in the given reaction has to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Halogenation of
Radical chain reaction:
Initiation reaction:
Chain propagation:

(b)
Interpretation:
Heat of the reaction,
Concept introduction:
Halogenation of alkanes: The replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by halogen. When alkanes is heated or irradiated with the light of specific wavelength, the alkyl halide are formed by radical chain reaction.
Radical chain reaction:
Initiation reaction:
Chain propagation:
Chain termination:
It is a change in enthalpy of a homolysis reaction at absolute zero where a molecule is broken down into two free radicals.
(c)
Interpretation:
The energies and relative rates of the set chain propagation steps in section 8.5B with given reaction has to be compared.
