Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides Title: Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides Abstract: In this experiment the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides are investigated through reflux and simple distillation. These are common procedures used to separate substances. After the reflux and distillation is complete 13C NMR and IR spectrum is used to identify the product or products for each reaction: 1a‚ 1b‚ and 2. Every individual in the group was assigned either 1a (1-propanol) or 1b (2-pentanol)

Comparing the enthalpy changes of combustion of different alcohols Aim In this experiment I will investigate the enthalpy changes of combustion. In particular I will be investigating the enthalpy change of combustion for different alcohols. I hope to investigate some of the homologous series alcohols‚ as well as a few structural isomers of these alcohols. Background & theory Enthalpy cannot be measured. What we can actually measure is the enthalpy change from the reactants to the products.
