Relative Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Introduction Nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides can proceed by two different mechanisms – the SN2 and the SN1. The purpose of the experiment was to identify the effects that the alkyl group and the halide-leaving group have on the rates of SN1 reactions‚ and the effect that the solvent has on the rates of SN1 and SN2 reactions. The SN1 mechanism is a two-step nucleophilic substitution‚ or unimolecular displacement. In the first step of the mechanism

INTRODUCTION TO ASCLEPIAS CALIFORNICA The terrestrial plant‚ Asclepias californica‚ is the primary food source for Monarch butterflies. It can only germinate and produce seeds if provided with the proper environmental influence. The California milkweed’s population is spread out in the southern and coastal areas of California where there are flat lands and grassy slopes. It can also grow up to three feet tall and have clumps consisting of multiple stems that are a couple of feet in width. Unlike

Experiment 1: Preparation of 1-Bromobutane and Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Objective: The purpose of this lab is to prepare 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol in an acid-catalyzed substitution reaction. While the reaction would be expected to occur as SN2 due to the primary nature of the substrate‚ because H2SO4 is used as a solvent‚ the conditions are very polar and the reaction can proceed via an SN1 reaction. The main objective is to obtain test results to determine the mechanism of the reaction

Objective To compare the relative reactivities of different alkyl halides with two different reagents; sodium iodide in acetone and silver nitrate in ethanol. Below the reaction equations 1. RX+NAIRI+NAX (X=Cl or Br) in the presence of acetone 2. RX+AgNO3+EtOHROEt+AgX+HNO3 We used three substrates primary secondary and tertiary compounds are 1-bromobutane‚ 2-bromobutane and 2-bromo-2-methylpropane respectively to react with the two nucleophiles that are sodium iodide with acetone solvent and

This purpose of the lab was to observe and compare the reactivity of the elements within groups and the reactivity of the groups themselves. The elements of each group were reacted with fire‚ acid (HCl or HNO3)‚ or in deionized water. According to the observations‚ the most reactive group was the alkali metals. Since the alkali metals are in group 1‚ they only have one valence electron and can easily lose this electron. As you move towards the right of the periodic table‚ the number of electrons

Question: What will happen to different halide salts found in the body if various compounds are added to the halide? How will the halides react? Introduction: For this lab we tested 6 halide salts found in the body‚ and their reactivity when a compound is added. We tested the halides NaF‚ NaCl‚ KBr‚ KI‚ and two unknown halides. To find the reaction of the halide‚ we are adding drops of Ca(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ AgNO3 + Na2S2O3‚ and NaOCI + Starch to the halides. Each halide will be separated from each other and

Reactivity of Halide Ions Purpose: There are four halide salts used in this experiment that are found in the human body. Sodium fluoride is poisonous‚ but has been traced to be beneficial to humans in the prevention of tooth decay. Sodium chloride is added to many of our foods to increase flavor. Sodium chloride is important for many life processes‚ but too much intake is linked to high blood pressure. Sodium bromide is distributed throughout body tissues. Sodium iodine controls cell growth.
