(a) What percentages of 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane would you expect to obtain from the chlorination of propane if 1( and 2( hydrogen atoms were equally reactive?

(b) What percentages of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane would you expect from the chlorination of 2-methylpropane if the 1( and 3( hydrogen atoms were equally reactive?

(c) Compare these calculated answers with the results actually obtained (above in Section 10.5) and justify the assertion that the order of reactivity of the hydrogen atoms is 38 7 28 7 18.
