Although CH4 reacts with Cl2 to form CH3Cl and HCl, the corresponding reaction of CH4 with I2 does not occur at an appreciable rate, even though the I–I bond is much weaker than the Cl–Cl bond. Explain why this is so.
For the reaction shown, the rate of reaction when X=Cl is about the same as that when X=Br. Based on
this information, which statement represents a valid deduction concerning the mechanism of this
reaction?
OCH2CH3
O2N
NO2
NO2
(A) This is a one-step displacement reaction
(B) The reaction proceeds via a benzyne intermediate
(C) The C-X bond is broken in the rate-determining step
(D) The C-X bond is NOT broken in the rate-determining step

TRUE or FALSE: For a transition state to be considered as the rate-
determining step (rds) in a multi-step reaction, it must have the
highest change in enthalpy.
