Chapter 10.1, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind‘'it would be incorrect to conclude that the nearly equal C-Cl bond dissociation enthalpies of propyl and isopropyl chloride indicate equal stabilities of propyl and isopropyl radicals' and ‘'bond dissociation enthalpies of propane are a better indicator of the free radical stabilities'are to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

Bond dissociation enthalpy is the amount of energy needed for homolytic dissociation of the bond.

>

Stabilities of two radicals can be estimated from reaction enthalpies if the only difference between the two reactions is the identity of the radical.

Why does the first reaction, but not the second, give ring expansion?
The compound below is treated with chlorine in the presence of light. CH3 CH3CHCH,CH3 Draw the structure for the organic radical species produced by reaction of the compound with a chlorine atom. Assume reaction occurs at the weakest C-H bond. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
The overall reaction of hydroxide radical with hydrogen gas occurs as follows: OH'g) + H,(g) – H0(g) + H'(g) Part A This reaction plays a significant role in the chemistry of the earth's atmosphere by eventually converting OH to HO, through the subsequent reaction of H with O,. HO, is involved in the destruction of stratospheric ozone (J. Phys. Chem. A, 2006, 110, 6978). Determine the activation energy for the reaction of OH with H, reaction. The rate constants for the reaction of OH with H, were found to be 5.54x10 L mol s at 36. C and 1.09x10 L molrs at -27. °C. -20.9 kJ mol1 O 18.3 kJ mol1 O 25.1 kJ mol O -18.3 kJ mol O 25.1 kJ mol
