that Awful Smell”? - Bromine There are 118 known elements to man‚ and each of them differ in its own way. They vary from weight‚ structure‚ color‚ and much more‚ but many of them are similar to others and can be grouped accordingly. One element that varies drastically from others is one whose stench is so horrible‚ that the original name of the element was changed from muride to bromos‚ which means “stench” in Greek. Thus‚ bromine was named. Like many other known elements‚ bromine was discovered by

Bromine’s physical state is a liquid‚ and it’s density is 3.122 g/cm^3. Bromine has a boiling point of 137.8ºF‚ which is also 58.8ºC. isotopes (Br-80)- 69-97 It’s melting point is 19ºF‚ also is -7.2ºC. Bromine is not very reactive as fluorine or chlorine but it’s way more reactive than iodine. Bromine is a nonmetal‚ and it’s a natural element. Bromine is known to be a very dense reddish brown toned liquid when formed compounds with elements such as chlorine‚ it works as a bleaching agent. It evaporates

n-butyl bromide or n-bromobutane‚ which is derived from an alcohol and an acid. In this case‚ n-butyl alcohol and sulfuric acid were the reagents. There were two methods of distillation that was involved in this experiment. The first was by reflux distillation‚ which is used to speed up a chemical reaction without having the reactants/ products evaporate or explode. Data Table 1 indicates the amount of each reagents that was prepared for the reflux apparatus. However‚ the reagents‚ sodium bromide‚ water

Bromination of Trans-Cinnamic Acid Christopher B. Martin CHEM 3411 1 Mechanism of Bromine Addition to Alkenes Understanding the chemical mechanism (order of bonds broken and made as well as intermediates formed) has a great value in chemical synthesis. The chemical mechanism of a reaction will influence the rate of the reaction‚ the stereochemistry of the product(s)‚ and the extent of possible undesired side reactions. Organic reaction mechanisms investigate the path towards a desired product

Synthesis of n-Butyl Bromide and t-Pentyl Chloride | | Jessica | [Pick the date] | Abstract The synthesis of the alkyl halide n-Butyl Bromide from alcohol is the foundation for the experiment. During the isolation of the n-butyl bromide‚ the crude product is washed with sulfuric acid‚ water‚ and sodium bicarbonate to remove any remaining acid or n-butyl alcohol. The primary alkyl halide halide n-butyl bromide is prepared by allowing n-butyl alcohol to react with sodium bromide and sulfuric acid

Stereochemistry of the Addition of Bromine to trans-Cinnamic Acid Introduction/Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to carry out the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid‚ to determine the stereochemistry of the dibromide product of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ and find out whether the reaction proceeds by the usual bromonium ion mechanism or some other mechanism. In this experiment trans-cinnamic acid was mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which then bromine/acetic acid solution

molecules hold them together. The larger the molecule (as it moves down the halogen group) the bigger the intermolecular forces are between electrons because with more rings the distance between each electron is larger. The larger elements such as Bromine and Iodine are larger molecules with a larger amount of intermolecular force between each electron. This increase in intermolecular attraction means that the required heat energy to reach the boiling point increases. Fluorine has a significantly lower
