1. The rate of formation of carbon tetrachloride from chloroform, CHCl3(g) + Cl2(g) => CCl4(g) + HCl(g) is first order in CHCl3 and half order in Cl2. Which step of the proposed mechanism must be slow in order to agree with this rate law? 1. Cl2(g) => 2 Cl(g) 2. Cl(g) + CHCl3(g) => HCl(g) + CCl3(g) 3. CCl3(g) + Cl(g) => CCl4(g) 1. 1 2. 2 3. 3 2. The proposed mechanism for a reaction is Cl2 =>...

Chloroform, CHCl3, reacts with chlorine, Cl2, to form carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. In an experiment 25 grams of chloroform and 25 grams of chlorine were mixed. In the laboratory, 10 grams of CCl4 are actually produced. Which is the limiting reactant? What is the theoretical yield of CCl4 in grams? 2. Limiting Reagent: Theoretical Yield: % Percent Yield: xcess (2.5 pts.) (2.5 pts.) (2.5 pts.) (2.5 pts.) reactant remaining
For the reaction mechanism shown, identify the intermediates(s) Cl2(gas)<------>2Cl(gas) CHCl3(gas)+ Cl(gas)<------>HCL(gas)+CCl3(gas) CCl3(gas)+Cl(gas)<------>CCl4(gas)
Carbon tetrachloride reacts at high temperature with oxygen to produce two toxic gases: phosgene and chlorine: CCl4 (g) + (1/2) O2 (g) ↔ COCl2 (g) + Cl2 (g), Kp = 4.4 x 109 at 1000 K. 1.25 atm for both carbon tetrachloride and oxygen were initially injected in the reactor. (1) Determine Kc of the equilibrium (2) What will be the partial pressure for each gas at equilibrium
Consider the following three step mechanism for a reaction Cl2 > 2Cl Fast Cl+CHCl3 > HCl+CCl3 Slow Cl+CCl3 > CCl4 Fast What is the predicted rate law? How do you do it? The answer is rate=K[Cl2]^.5 [CHCl3]
1. Draw a mechanism for the chlorination of chloroform to produce carbon tetrachloride.
When cyclohexene reacts with chlorine in carbon tetrachloride
the trans-dihalide is formed. Draw the product and write the
complete stepwise mechanism for this reaction. Be sure to show all
intermediate structures and all electron flow using arrows.
