The bromination of methane proceeds through the following steps:
CH4 + Br· → · CH3 + HBr + 73 kJ (17 kcal) 79 kJ (19 kcal)
· CH3 + Br2 → CH3Br + Br· − 112 kJ (− 27 kcal) 4 kJ (1 kcal)

- More than one reagent/reaction will be necessary to produce the product from the reactant provided. You must provide all necessary reaction conditions (HBr, HgSO4, etc.) and the products produced after each step of the synthesis.arrow_forwardhow H2O2 can be prepared on the large scale?arrow_forwardAlkoxy radicals (R¬O # ) are generally more stable than alkyl (R # ) radicals. Write an equation showing an alkyl free radical (from burning gasoline) abstracting a hydrogen atom from tert-butyl alcohol, (CH 3)3COH. Explain why tert-butyl alcohol works as an antiknock additive for gasoline.arrow_forward
- Heptane, C7H16, can be catalytically reformed to make toluene, C6H5CH3, another seven-carbon molecule. How many hydrogen molecules are produced for every toluene molecule derived from heptane? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Why is it profitable to convert heptane into toluene?arrow_forwardFollowing is a balanced equation for the allylic bromination of propene. CH2==CHCH3 + Br2 h CH2==CHCH2Br + HBr (a) Calculate the heat of reaction, H 0, for this conversion. (b) Propose a pair of chain propagation steps and show that they add up to the observed stoichiometry. (c) Calculate the H 0 for each chain propagation step and show that they add up to the observed H 0 for the overall reaction.arrow_forward1. a) Write an equation (showing all reaction conditions) for the preparation of ethylene (C2H4) from the dehydration of ethanol. 2.) The reaction above (1.a) can also produce ether under certain conditions. Write an equation to show this reaction as well.arrow_forward
