Question

Consider the reaction of isopentane with Cl2 in presence of sunlight.
The reactivity ratio of 1°:2° : 3° hydrogen is given as 1:3:5 for
isopentane. The percentage yield of 1-chloro-2-methylbutane, is x
and that of 2-chloro-2-methyl butane is y. The value of
is
у​

Answer 1

Answer:

for formation of 1-chloro-2-methylbutane there is involvement of 1° hydrogen and for 2-chloro-2-methylbutane there is involvement of 3° hydrogen

so percentage yield =11.1% and 55.5% respectively
