Radical chlorination of pentane is a poor way to prepare 1-chloropentane, but radical chlorination of neopentane, (CH3)4C, is a

good way to prepare neopentyl chloride, (CH3)3CCH2Cl. Why?

Radical chlorination is not as selective as radical bromination. the rate in which it reacts with primary, secondary or tertiary hydrogens is not that great of a difference. 

So, in pentane, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, by the reaction with Cl2, the chlorine group can attach to any of the carbons which would form many isomers and not specifically 1-=chloropentane. In neopentane, (CH3)4C, it is different. each of the H atoms is equivalent. So no matter which one be substituted, only one product, (CH3)CCH2Cl, can be prepared.

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of  8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
