To produce tert-butyl chloride from tert-butyl alcohol 2. To understand the SN1 and SN2 mechanism involved in the reaction 3. To determine the yield of percentage of t-butyl chloride II. Introduction An alkyl halide is a derivative of alkanes. Alkanes are hydrocarbons with a functional group C-C. The hydrogen atom is then replaced by a halogen (F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ I). Therefore‚ alkyl halides are compounds that have a halogen atom bonded to a saturated‚ sp3 hybridized carbon atom. These could be classified

would die in seconds. Glucose‚ the most important carbohydrate‚ not only has a carbonyl group but is an aldehyde. Another common carbohydrate is fructose‚ fruit sugar‚ this compound is a ketone. These compounds are more reactive than your typical alkane‚ the question you may ask is why? The answer lies in the location of the electrons in the carbonyl group. First‚ look at the hybridization of a carbonyl carbon. A carbon connected to three other molecules must be doubly bonded to one of those molecules

Formation of an Alkene by Alcohol Dehydration Lab Report Balanced Chemical Equation for the Main Reaction Mechanism The acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols involves non-isolable carbocation intermediaries. In the first step of the of the reaction mechanism below‚ a phosphoric acid catalyst adds a proton to the oxygen atom of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. The OH is converted to a better leaving group as the positive charge on the oxygen weakens the carbon-oxygen

(Mg + CuSO4 MgSO4 + Cu). In this example‚ magnesium is above copper in the activity series so it is able to displace copper. An example of an anion replacement reaction is the reaction of bromine and potassium iodide‚ which produces potassium bromide and iodide (Br2 + 2KI 2KBr +I2). In this example‚ bromine replaces iodide in the potassium iodide

The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean‚ examines each of the elements on the periodic table. The Disappearing Spoon focuses on the history of the periodic table by recounting stories about each element on the table‚ and the scientist that discovered it. For each element‚ Kean provides an extensive backstory about its origin‚ the common (or uncommon) uses of the element‚ and other interesting tidbits. The author begins the novel with a general physical description of the periodic table as a whole; he

reactions graphically: Enthalpy change is represented by the symbol ∆H. (∆ is ‘the change in’ the ‘H’ is for enthalpy) The unit for enthalpy change is measured in Kilojoules per mole. For example if an alkane has a combustion enthalpy change of +296Kjmol-1 then the alkane takes in 296kJ of energy‚ from its surroundings‚ for every mole that is burnt. Enthalpy changes can easily be measured using equipment in a school laboratory. We can set up an experiment so that energy is transferred
