Question 8

Consider the reaction between HCl and ethene (the reactants). The carbocation intermediate and the Cl may revert to the reactants or go on to form the product, chloroethane. Which statement about this process is correct?
1.The formation of chloroethane from the carbocation and Cl is the rate limiting process.
2.The structure of the transition state for conversion of the carbocation to chloroethane resembles the product.
3.The carbocation intermediate (and Cl) has energy that is intermediate between the reactants and the products.
4.The intermediate may bond with Cl on either of its two carbons.
5.Based on the Hammond postulate, the carbocation and Cl form the chloroethane faster than they revert to reactants.
