A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Answer:
150
Explanation:
- C₄H₂OH + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H₂O
We can <u>find the equivalent number of O₂ molecules for 100 molecules of CO₂</u> using a <em>conversion factor containing the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>, as follows:
- 100 molecules CO₂ *
= 150 molecules O₂
150 molecules of O₂ would produce 100 molecules of CO₂.
