In Section 12.4, we saw that at room temperature, the relative rates are:
5.0 : 3.8 : 1
Therefore, we can conclude that at higher temperatures, the radical is less selective about which hydrogen
atom it removes.

The chlorine radical is more reactive at the higher temperature
1
600
°
C

, so it is less selective.

If you cancel the elements that are the same on opposite sides of the equations in part
b
and then add
the two equations, you are left with the equation in part
a
