Chapter 12.9, Problem 12.24P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product of the halogenation reaction of 2,2-dimethylpropane with bromine in the presence of light should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A chemical reaction is the symbolic representation of the conversion of substances to new substances.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{ A + B }\stackrel{}{\to }\text{ C}\\ \text{Reactant }\stackrel{}{\to }\text{ Product}\end{array}$

In a chemical reaction; the substance which is involved in conversion is said to be reactant whereas the newly formed substance is known as a product. Both reactants and products must be separated by an arrow.

Halogenation reaction is a substitution reaction in which one of the H atom of reactant hydrocarbon is substituted with halogen atom to form respective alkyl halide.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product of chlorination reaction of cyclopropane with chlorine in the presence of heat should be determined.
