Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 77AE
Assuming that the mechanism for the hydrogenation of C2H4 given in Section 11-7 is correct, would you predict that the product of the reaction of C2H4. with D2 would be CH2D—CH2D or CHD2—CH3? How could the reaction of C2H4 with D2 be used to confirm the mechanism for the hydrogenation of C2H4 given in Section 11-7?

5. For the chlorination of ethane, represented by the equation: CH3CH3 + Cl2 + hv→ CH3CH2CI + HCI, the following
radical-mediated mechanism has been proposed:
Cl2 2 Cl· + CI -
CH4 + Cl. → CH3· + HCI
CH3: + Cl2 → CH3CI + Cl·
k1, k.1
k2
k3
CH3* + Cl· 2CH3CI
ka, k.4
Additionally, it has been possible to establish, under certain experimental conditions, that the reaction is first
order with respect to the methane, and three halves with respect to chlorine.
a) Classify the different steps of this mechanism (i.e. initiation, propagation, etc.).
b) Derive the rate law for the chlorination of ethane, based on the mechanism proposed.
c) Identify which is the rate-determining step. Justify your selection.
d) Indicate which are the assumptions and approximations you used so that this model could work (i.e. pre-
equilibrium condition, steady state approximation, neglecting the contribution of a step, etc.).
In unpolluted air at 300 K, the hydroxyl radical OH reacts
with CO with a bimolecular rate constant of 1.6 × 101' L
mol-1 s-1 and with CH4 with a rate constant of 3.8 ×
10° L mol¬1 s-1. Take the partial pressure of CO in air to
be constant at 1.0 × 10-7 atm and that of CH4 to be 1.7 x
10-6 atm, and assume that these are the primary mecha-
nisms by which OH is consumed in the atmosphere. Cal-
culate the half-life of OH under these conditions.
