(a)
Interpretation:
For the substitution reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, the overall reaction has to be given.
(b)
Interpretation:
For the substitution reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, the molecularity of each elementary reaction has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Molecularity of reaction:
Unimolecular: A molecule (reactant) undergoes rearrangement itself to give one or more products is said to be unimolecuar reactions.
Bimolecular: Two molecules (reactants) undergo collisions to give one or more products is said to be bimolecular reactions.
Termolecular: Three molecules undergo collision to give one or more products is said to be termolecular reactions.
(c)
Interpretation:
For the substitution reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, the rate law has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Rate law of a reaction:
It is an equation that related to the dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of each substrates (reactants).

- 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.
