Question 34

Multiple Choice

A possible reaction of ethane with chlorine is shown below. CH3CH3+Cl2CH3CH2Cl+HCl\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } + \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \longrightarrow \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { Cl } + \mathrm { HCl } This reaction could conceivably occur by the following chain mechanisms [1], [2], and [3]. The chain propagating step(s) is (are) _______. [1]Cl22Cl[ 1 ] \quad \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm { Cl } \cdot
[2] Cl+CH3CH3 slow HCl+CH3CH2\mathrm { Cl } \cdot + \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \stackrel { \text { slow } } { \longrightarrow } \mathrm { HCl } + \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 }^ \cdot
[3] CH3CH2+Cl2 fast CH3CH2Cl+Cl\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } ^\cdot + \mathrm { Cl } _ { 2 } \stackrel { \text { fast } } { \longrightarrow } \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { Cl } + \mathrm { Cl }\cdot .
