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

Determination of the relative atomic mass of lithium Introduction: For this investigation I will determine the Relative atomic mass (Ar) by using two different methods. In the first method I will dissolve a piece of lithium of a known mass in water‚ I will then collect the hydrogen gas produced‚ which can be used to calculate the relative atomic mass of Lithium. In the second method I will titrate the resulting solution of lithium hydroxide with a known concentration of hydrochloric acid‚ this
