Abstract The bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure and its mechanism. After the addition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid‚ the product was identified by its melting point and infrared spectrum resulting in erythro-2‚3-Dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid after comparing similar properties. Introduction In this lab‚ the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid was completed to determine dibromide’s stereochemical structure‚ and from there determine

plates. If the positive metal ions in the solutions are less powerful reducing agents‚ then the metal in the plate will be reduced and hence form a deposition of solid metal. e.g. Zn + Pb2+-> Zn2+ + Pb EXPERIMENT 2: Aim: To range the halogens bromine‚ chlorine and iodine‚ with the strongest oxidising agent first. Hypothesis: A strong oxidising agent is a species that easily gains electrons‚ and is hence easily reduced. The ionisation energy of the halogens (Cl2‚ I2‚ Br2) decreases down the group

For 15-20 minutes‚ stir the reaction mixture at room temperature so that the reddish-orange coloration will fade and a solid precipitate will form. 7. Return to the hood and add a few more drops of the bromine solution in the hood if all the coloration fades. 8. Once the reaction is complete‚ return to

Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance:- Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon:- The Covalent

Anions I had to go through a series of tests to find out which Anion was present. From all the tests I found out that the test for bromine halide worked and the test for sulphate also worked. Conclusion In conclusion I found out that the ions present in my sample where sodium‚ sulphate and bromine. The Cation was sodium and the Anions where sulphur and bromine this means that my sample was sodium sulphate or sodium bromide. Evaluation My experiment went very well but if I could redo this

Combustion | Limited supply of oxygen: CO formed.Even less Oxygen: C is deposited as soot. Excess Oxygen: Complete combustion (giving CO2 and H2O) | Al2 O3 and vaporisation of alkane at 500°C; Cracking of Alkanes | Al2 O3 is used as a catalyst. Heat provides energy for breakage of C-C bonds. | UV light; Initiation step of FRS of alkanes by halogens * Not required for electrophilic addition reaction btw Halogens and alkenes | Br-Br 2Br Provides the energy for homolytic fission of Br-Br bond.
