A possible reaction of ethane with chlorine is shown below. \[ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{HCl} \] This reaction could concelvably occur by the following chair [1] \( \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cl} \). [2] \( \mathrm{Cl} \cdot+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \stackrel{\text { slow }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \) [3] \( \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2}^{*}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\text { fast }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl} \) Bond dissociation energies (kcal/mol): Multiple Choice \( -28 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{mol} \) \( +58 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{mol} \)
