2-chloropropane is a major product of the reaction of chlorine with propane under ultraviolet light. Write the mechanism for this reaction including the initiation step and the two propagation steps.
Free radical halogenation is used to replace one or more hydrogens on an alkane with one or more halogens (either chlorine or bromine). It is a substitution reaction. A student performs a free radical bromination on 3-methyl-pentane (5.88 g) to create the desired product of 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane. The product mix, which hopefully contains almost all 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane, is cleaned up by passing it through a gas chromoatograph, which separates out the 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane from any undesired products made during the reaction (undesired products are created frequently in free radical halogenation). The initial product mix weighed 9.45 g; the purified 3-bromo-3-methyl-pentane weighed 7.21 g. What is the student's percent recovery?
Photochemical chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane gives four isomeric monochlorides. (a) Write structural formulas for these four isomers. (b) The two primary chlorides make up 65% of the monochloride fraction. Assuming that all the primary hydrogens in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are equally reactive, estimate the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixture.

- How to draw the line bond formula or lewis structure of a methyl ketone with the chemical formula C6H5C3H5O? Based on the results of the solubility tests, the compound can be grouped in VI, which is insoluble in water, 10% NaOH and 10% HCl but soluble in concentrated H2SO4. If the compound is water-insoluble but soluble in concentrated H2SO4, it is most probably an alcohol, aldehyde, anhydride, ester, ether, ketone, or an unsaturated hydrocarbon The functional group/class is identified to be Methyl Ketone, base on the results of the chemical tests on Table 2.
