1. Summary of Experiment In this experiment we will be comparing the both SN1 and SN2 reactions using various compounds and sodium iodide and silver nitrate. We will be comparing the nature of the leaving group (Cl vs Br) in the 1-halobutanes as well as the effect of the structure of the compound. The effect of the solvent polarity and temperature will also be looked at. Name Structure M.W. M.P. B.P. Density Toxicity Sodium Iodide NaI 149.89 g/mol 661ºC
