Essay

Consider the following monobromination reaction,then answer the following questions. a)Give the structures and the IUPAC names for the products.
b)Give the common names for the products.
c)Calculate ΔH° for the overall reaction using the following data for the indicated bond dissociation energies: d)Calculate the percent yield for each product.(relative rate of abstraction of 3° hydrogen is 1600; 2° is 82; and 1° is 1.)
e)Propose a step-by-step mechanism for the major product only.
f)Draw a schematic potential energy diagram for the rate-determining step (RDS)only.
g)Does the transition state of the RDS resemble more closely the reactants or the products?
h)Would the value of the activation energy be different for different alkanes? Explain.
i)Would the reaction slow down or speed up if I₂ is used instead of Br₂? Explain.
