The following questions were not following an experiment. Theyare able to be answered without more information.
2. In free-raducal halogenation reaction, one can predict therelative amounts of the possible products using a simple equation:(probability factor to form a given product)x(reactivityfactor)=relative amount of that product For example: consider themonochlorination of propane. Two products are possible:1-chloropropane and 2- chloropropane. Replacing any of the six 1hydrogen gives 1- chloropropane and replacing either of the two 2hydrogens will give 2- chloropropane. Therefore, the probabilityfactor for forming 1- chloropropane is 6 and the probability factorforming 2- chloropropane is 2. The relative reactivity factors forchlorine are, for 1, 2, and 3 C-H bonds, 1.0, 3.5, and 5.0,respectively. If butane is subjected to free-radical chlorination,what would be the relative ratios of 1- chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane?
3. Calculate the relative product ratios for the free-radicalbromination of butane. The reactivity factor for 1, 2, and 3 C-Hbonds with bromine are 1.0, 82, and 1600, respectively.
4. Calculate the relative ratios of products for themonochlorination of 2-methylpropane. Remember to determine how manyways a particular product could be produced (how many differenthydrogens could be replaced to give the same product). Hint:Drawing out the starting material and the possible products may behelpful.
5. Calculate the relative ratios of products for themonochlorination of 2,4-dimethylpropane. Remember to determine howmany ways a particular product could be produced (how manydifferent hydrogens could be replaced to give the same product).Hint: Drawing out the starting material and the possible productsmay be helpful.
