Chapter 8, Problem 8.24P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Series of chain initiation, propagation and termination steps for the reaction and estimate its heat of reaction has to be proposed.

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.

Heat of reaction for a radical reaction can be identified form bond dissociation enthalpy.

Bond dissociation energy is a measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.

It is a change in enthalpy of a homolysis reaction at absolute zero where a molecule is broken down into two free radicals.

ΔH0=BDE(broken)BDE(formed)
