(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason as to why there is difference in the yields of 1chlorohexane and chlorocyclohexane.

Interpretation: The reason as to why there is difference in the yields of 1chlorohexane and chlorocyclohexane 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 quantum yield of chain reactions is very high.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The ratio of reactants (cyclohexane and chlorine) that would be used for the synthesis of chlorocyclohexane.

Interpretation: The ratio of reactants (Cyclohexane and chlorine) that would be used for the synthesis of chlorocyclohexane is to be predicted.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Free-radical chlorination of hexane gives very poor yields of 1-chlorohexane, while cyclohexane can be converted to chlorocyclohexane in good yield. How do you account for this difference?
1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results.   (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
