(a)
Interpretation:
Type of the reaction (electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, electrophilic substitution
or acid-base) and curved arrow pattern for the electron flow should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Substitution reaction: During a
Electrophilic substitution reactions: an electrophile replaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom.
Electrophilic
Nucleophilic Substitution reaction: electron rich nucleophile attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom and replace a leaving group is called Nucleophilic Substitution reaction.
According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept: An acid is donating the proton. A base is accepting the proton in reaction.

Substitution reaction: During a chemical reaction when one functional group is transformed as another functional group in a chemical compound is called substitution reaction.
Electrophilic substitution reactions: an electrophile replaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are introducing functional groups onto benzene rings. The other main type of electrophilic substitution reaction is an electrophilic aliphatic substitution reaction.

- In a time-resolved picosecond spectroscopy experiment, Sheps, Crowther, Carrier, and Crim (Journal of Physical Chemistry A, Vol. 110, 2006; pp. 30873092) generated chlorine atoms in the presence of pentane. The pentane was dissolved in dichloromethane, CH2C12. The chlorine atoms are free radicals and are very reactive. After a nanosecond the chlorine atoms have reacted with pentane molecules, removing a hydrogen atom to form HCl and leaving behind a pentane radical with a single unpaired electron. The equation is Cl (dcm) + C5H12(dcm) HCl(dcm) + C5H11 (dcm) where (dcm) indicates that a substance is dissolved in dichloromethane. Measurements of the concentration of chlorine atoms were made as a function of time at three different concentrations of pentane in the dichloromethane. These results are shown in the table. (a) Determine the order of the reaction with respect to chlorine. (b) Determine whether the reaction rate depends on the concentration of pentane in dichloromethane. If so, determine the order of the reaction with respect to pentane. (c) Explain why the concentration of pentane in dichloromethane does not affect the data analysis that you performed in part (a). (d) Write the rate law for the reaction and calculate the rate of reaction for a concentration of chlorine atoms equal to 1.0 M and a pentane concentration of 0.23 M. (e) Sheps, Crowther, Carrier, and Crim found that the rate of formation of HCl matched the rate of disappearance of Cl. From this they concluded that there were no intermediates and side reactions were not important. Explain the basis for this conclusion.arrow_forwardA strand of DNA contains the base pair 5’-A-C-A-C-T-T-A-A-C-3’.
