The rate of free radical chlorination of CH4 is

Question

The rate of free radical chlorination of CH4 is (A) equal to CD4  (B) double the rate of CD4  (C) 12 times the rate of CD4  (D) less than the rate of CD4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The rate of reaction of CH4 is greater than CD4 because the activation energy of CH4 is less than the CD4. Hence, the rate of free radical chlorination of CH4 is greater than CD4.

Q. The rate of free radical chlorination of $C H_{4}$ is

equal to $C D_{4}$

double the rate of $C D_{4}$

12 times the rate of $C D_{4}$

less than the rate of $C D_{4}$

The rate of reaction of $C H_{4}$ is greater than $C D_{4}$ because the activation energy of $C H_{4}$ is less than the $C D_{4} .$ Hence, the rate of free radical chlorination of $C H_{4}$ is greater than $C D_{4} .$
