(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The transition state for the rate-limiting step of each of the given reactions.

Interpretation: The transition state for the rate limiting step for each of the given reactions is to drawn.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The relative rates of abstraction per hydrogen and deuterium in the chlorination of deuterioethane.

Interpretation: The relative rates of abstraction per hydrogen and deuterium in the chlorination of deuterioethane is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason as to why one of the reactions has much larger isotope effect than the other.

Interpretation: The reason as to why one of the reactions has much larger isotope effect than the other is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The rate of the reaction changes when a normal atom is replaced with its isotope. The atomic mass of isotope is higher than that of a normal atom.

Explain why methyl alcohol reacts with HBr faster than other primary alcohols?
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.)
Consider the given reaction in which NC−NC− is the nucleophile and CH3CNCH3CN is the solvent. The reactant molecule has a structure with solid and dashed wedge bonds. A solid wedge () is used to show the bond that is above the plane of the paper, and a dashed wedge () is used to show the bond that is behind the plane of the paper. Draw the product of the following reaction:
