Chapter 15, Problem 15.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of ΔH° for the rate determining step of the reaction of CH4 with I2 is to be calculated. The reason corresponding to the fact that this reaction is extremely slow is to be explained.

Concept introduction: Halogens react with alkanes in presence of heat or light to form alkyl halides. This is known as halogenation reaction. This is a free radical substitution reaction. In these reactions, the halogen substitutes the hydrogen atom from CH sigma bond of the alkane.

When a small amount of iodine is added to a mixture of chlorine and methane, it prevents chlorination from occurring. Therefore, iodine is a free-radical inhibitor for this reaction. Calculate ∆H° values for the possible reactions of iodine with species present in the chlorination of methane, and use these values to explain why iodine inhibits the reaction. (The I¬Cl bond-dissociation enthalpy is 211 kJ>mol or 50 kcal>mol.)
What is the Born-Haber process and how is it important to the world’s economy
The rate law of a reaction is given below.From the given rate law, what will happen to the reaction time and reaction rate if the concentration of one of the reactants is doubled while keeping everything the same? why?Also, why the starch solution used as an indicator in an experiment turned blue at the end of the reaction?
