Transcribed Image Text:
a) Photolysis reactions are sustained or commenced by the absorption of electromagnetic
radiation. An example of photolysis rection is the synthesis of chloromethane from methane
and chlorine which is initiated by HCI(g) in the presence of light via ultraviolet irradiation:
CH2(g) + Cl₂ (g) + hv → CH3Cl (g) + HCl (g)
where hv represents light
The hypothesised mechanism steps for this reaction are given as follows:
Chain Initiation step:
Cl₂
2C1
Kp
Chain propagation steps:
CH₁₂+ Cl
CH3 +HCI
Kp2
.
Chain termination steps:
KC2H6
Kez
CH3 +Cl₂ CH₂Cl + Cl
2CH3 C2H6
.
CH3 +CL CH3Cl
By assuming chain initiation step occurs irreversibly;
(i)
Derive the rate expressions for byproducts, C2H6 (g) and HCI (g), taking into account
pseudo steady-state approximations on the radicals involved.
(13 marks)
(ii)
Derive the overall rate law for the formation of chloromethane by considering both
termination steps are significant. If termination step 2 is dominant in the reaction,
determine the possible rate expression and conclude your finding.
