Accept answers in the range –5470 to –5480 «kJ mol−1».

Accept correct answer in any units, e.g. –5.47 «MJ mol−1» or 5.47 x 10«J mol−1».

a.

Cl· + C2H6·C2H5 + HCl ✔

·C2H5 + Cl2 → Cl· + C2H5Cl ✔


·C2H5 + Cl· → C2H5Cl
OR
Cl· + Cl· → Cl2
OR
·C2H5 + ·C2H5 → C4H10


Do not penalize incorrectly placed radical sign, eg
