In this experiment‚ the objective is to successfully perform an SN1 reaction to determine the reactivity of tert-butyl chloride‚ through the usage of sodium iodide/silver nitrate reagents and to synthesize tert-butyl chloride. The tert-butyl chloride was synthesized through the use of separation (aqueous and organic layers) and distillation. Tert-butyl chloride is the alkyl halide which is being synthesized throughout the course of the experiment. Alkyl halides are derived from alkanes. Once an alkane

red solutions that will lead to a possible identity of each red solution. Starting with red solution #1‚ we are able to conclude that there are no nanoparticles in this solution and that is a molecular compound due to the fact that when potassium iodide was added‚ there was no color change and no precipitate formation to indicate that a chemical reaction had happened. Having no color change occur when an ionic compound is added to a solution means that the solution is

Department of Chemistry‚ Grinnell College‚ Grinnell‚ Iowa 50112‚ United States S Supporting Information * ABSTRACT: A simple organic chemistry experiment is described that investigates the kinetics of the reaction between 1-bromobutane (BuBr) and iodide (I−) as followed by observing the disappearance of BuBr and the appearance of 1-iodobutane (BuI) using 1H NMR spectroscopy. In small groups of three to four‚ students acquire data to examine the concentrationdependence of both the organic substrate

As the reaction proceeds‚ the silver atoms grow into clusters‚ which are large enough to scatter light and produce colors in a pattern identical to that of the original light source. Photography utilizes this chemical

become soluble in water‚ potassium iodide is added‚ forming triiodide (MEL Science‚ 2015). When reacted with starch attach to structures within a starch molecule‚ leading to a blue-black colour (Ophardt‚ 2003). Starch is a carbohydrate‚ which contains two types of polysaccharides that are connected in two different ways‚ linear amylose and branched amylopectin (Goedecke‚ 2016). When iodine reacts with amylose‚ the iodine ‘gets stuck’ in the starch coils‚ forcing the ion/iodine to become linear as well

the electrodes. What is electrolysis? Ionic substances contain charged particles called ions. For example‚ lead bromide contains positively charged lead ions and negatively charged bromide ions. Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them. For electrolysis to work‚ the ions must be free to move. Ions are free to move when an ionic substance is dissolved in water or when melted. For example

a readox reaction to occur‚ special apparatus called voltaic cell can be used. It is made by connecting a voltmeter between two electrodes‚ which are immersed in to the two different solutions separated by porous barrier. This barrier allows flow of ions‚ so that the voltage or potential can be measured. In a closer look of such reactions‚ it can be determined that the sum of the potentials of oxidation and reduction is actually the voltage of the whole voltaic cell. For convenience negative electrode

a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine‚ hydrogen‚ and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this‚ two mixtures were prepared in separate Erlenmeyer flasks. In the 250 ml flask .010M potassium iodide‚ .0010M Sodium thiosulfate and distilled water was prepared. A 125 ml flask was
