(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The transition state for the rate-limiting step of each of the given reactions.

Interpretation: The transition state for the rate limiting step for each of the given reactions is to drawn.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The relative rates of abstraction per hydrogen and deuterium in the chlorination of deuterioethane.

Interpretation: The relative rates of abstraction per hydrogen and deuterium in the chlorination of deuterioethane is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason as to why one of the reactions has much larger isotope effect than the other.

Interpretation: The reason as to why one of the reactions has much larger isotope effect than the other is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reaction which proceeds through the formation of radicals is known as chain reaction. It involves three steps, initiation, propagation and termination. The initiation step occurs in the presence of light. The rate of the reaction changes when a normal atom is replaced with its isotope. The atomic mass of isotope is higher than that of a normal atom.
