Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) Match with (Q)

The formation of \(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CD}_3\) can be explained on the basis of the fact that \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{D}\) bond is much stronger than \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond.
(B) match with (Q)
Reactivity of \(\mathrm{PhCHBrCH}_3\) is greater than
\(\mathrm{Ph} \mathrm{CHBrCD}_3\) because \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{D}\) bond is more stronger than \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond.
(C) match with (R) and (S)


In the step (II), a slow unimolecular elimination occurs in the conjugate base of the reactant and hence this mechanism is called \(E_1 C B\) or carbanion mechanism. Since step (I) must be reversible, if ethanol containing \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OD}\) is used as solvent, it would be expected that the original bromide would incorporate deuterium (D).
\(\text { (D) Match with (P) and (S) }\)
Step I. \(\mathrm{PhCH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br} \stackrel{\text { Slow }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{PhCH}_2-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2+\mathrm{Br}^{-}\)
Step II. \(\mathrm{PhCH}_2-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}_2} \mathrm{H}_2 \stackrel{\text { Fast }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Ph}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\mathrm{H}^{-}\)
Rate \(\propto\left[\mathrm{PhCH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{Br}\right]\)
Similarly
Step II. \(\mathrm{PhCD}_2 \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}_2} \mathrm{H}_2 \stackrel{\text { Fast }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{PhCD}=\mathrm{CHD}+\mathrm{H}^{+}\)
Rate \(\propto\left[\mathrm{PhCD}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}\right]\)
Hence, \(E_1\) reaction and first order kinetics.

- Paragraph:
Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules (approximately \(6.023 \times 10^{23}\) ) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. This concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept.
