Yes in a sense you can, however the better reason will be that C does not have empty D orbitals. just remember this one line statement it won't kill you :p



This my friend is indeed a good question. I would like to know the answer to this as well.. lol How can we determine the Ea? does endothermic reaction show high Ea reactions? or is it the magnitude? no clue.

I think the answer to this comes from the fact that reaction 1 needs to be heated to a higher temperature.. yaar wo AS wala jo tha.. Boltzman Temeperature wala # of particles/energy graph. Increasing temperature increases the number of particles with enough activation energy.
second part you lost me on I think :p

Oh this question has given me a lot of trouble lately.

I went with (21/1)*(1/9) = 21/9 = 7/3


My explanation was something like 21/1 = ratio of rate of tertiary to primary H. 1/9 = ratio of tertiary to primary H present. Ratio of J/K = 21/1 * 1/9 = 21/9 = 7/3

J= Tertiary Hydrogen replaced.
K= Primary Hydrogen replaced.
ohhhh! thankyouuuu so muchh!

not directly that why i asked him if it was from past papers. You just use it to form compunds after electrophylic addition reactions :3

lol i still have no clue :p


"to calculate the energy produced by the"

You just need to calculate the energy produced in Joules. And Energy itself is a scalar quantity so cannot be negative. You don't have to state the enthalpy over here. And enthalpy has the +/- sign to it to show whether the energy was produced or used up.

Since they have already told you that energy is produced and you need to calculate the amount of energy produced. The Sign doesn't matter only the magnitude does..

Even if you wrote -XX kJ I don't think you'd have been penalised for that. because sign doesn't matter in this question.
