2,2-dimethylpropane only reacts with bromine in a solvent of CCl4. The presence of sunlight is required in this reaction. Specify the type of reaction and show the complete mechanism for the reaction occurred. This is a free radical halogenation, however I don't understand what it meant by "only recats with bromine in a solvent of CCL4"... can I have some explanation :(

Consider the mechanism for the formation of a halohydrin from cyclohexene and bromine in the presence of water to form (1S,2S)-2-bromocyclo-1-hexanol. Part A: Describe in full detail what you think is happening on the molecular level for this reaction. Be sure to discuss the role of each reactant and intermediate. Part B: Using a molecular level explanation, explain why this reaction occurs. Be sure to discuss why the reactants form the products shown.
This reaction does not take place. All that happens under experimental conditions for the formation of radicals is initiation to form iodine radicals, I·, followed by termination to reform I2. How do you account for these observations?
Complete the following reaction: H3N:BF3 + BCl3 Write down and explain the possible reaction mechanism with the rate law for this SE1 reaction.
With regards to this, I have been reading journals about activated carbon that is being modified. Now, the activated carbon is modified through acid treatment, and sulfuric acid is added to it. The result was, that there is a presence of SO3-, C=O=C, and C=O on the modified activated carbon. They concluded that the process of sulfonation on the activated carbon treated with sulfuric acid took place. Can you explain the chemistry/mechanism/reaction that happened? Explain in detail and clearly. Thank you so much!
Give a plausible mechanismfor the radical bromination of ethane to yield bromoethane (must include initiation, propagation, and termination).
Write the mechanism and predict the product for the reaction of cyclohexene with bromine. Make sure that you include the stereochemistry for the reaction in your mechanism. Then describe in detail the appearance of the reactants and products in this reaction. What would be the visible evidence that a reaction took place?
