different factors influence the rate of SN1 reactions. The factors that will be examined are the leaving group‚ Br versus Cl-; the structure of the alkyl group‚ 3◦ versus 2◦; and the polarity of the solvent‚ 40 percent 2-propanol versus 60 percent 2-propanol. Discussion/Theory/Reaction Mechanisms SN2 Reaction Mechanism: This reaction takes place by an SN2 mechanism. The reaction must be carried out in a very acidic solution because the OH group of the alcohol is not a weak base‚ and

Different tests were done to each sample to differentiate their characteristics. These test were Dichromate test‚ Tollens Test‚ DNPH test‚ Iodoform Test‚ and Lucas Test. This was conducted to classify the samples

In this investigation I will be burning alcohol ’s to heat up a can of water. I will be burning four alcohol ’s‚ methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol and butanol. The aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning these alcohols. Alcohol ’s react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is exothermic because heat is given out. From this reason the reactant energy is higher than that of the product. The energy is given out when

In addition‚ writing balanced chemical equations. Hypothesis If methyl-2-propanol is reacted with formic acid then the product should be 2-methylpropyl methanoate. If 1-octanol is reacted with acetic acid then the product should be 1-octyl ethanoate. If methanol is reacted with salicylic acid then the product should be methyl

aim of this experiment is to investigate the combustion of various alcohols. The alcohols will be burnt to heat up a test tube of water‚ I aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning the following alcohols: Methanol‚ Ethanol‚ Propanol‚ Butanol‚ and Pentanol. Any form of burning is an exothermic reaction (heat is given out)‚ this means that the reactants energy is higher than that of the product. Alcohols react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide.

Ethanol‚ Propanol‚ Water‚ Pentane and Acetone evaporate at different rates. Methanol and Butanol were not liquids investigated by our group‚ but collectively as a class we were able to record averages of rates of evaporation.

This lab will examine the reaction of 1-propanol and 2-pentanol with NaBr in H2SO4‚ in which the H2O acts as the leaving group and Br as the attaching nucleophile (1). After the reaction has taken place through reflux and distillation‚ the product is able to be examined through NMR and IR spectroscopy analysis. Finally‚ these graphs will help in determining the products of each reaction and the type of mechanism used. SN1: SN2: Mechanism of 1-propanol: Mechanism of 2-pentanol: Table

Comparing the enthalpy changes of combustion of different alcohols Aim In this experiment I will investigate the enthalpy changes of combustion. In particular I will be investigating the enthalpy change of combustion for different alcohols. I hope to investigate some of the homologous series alcohols‚ as well as a few structural isomers of these alcohols. Background & theory Enthalpy cannot be measured. What we can actually measure is the enthalpy change from the reactants to the products.

A student is given two alcohols with which to perform Lucas Test. These are cyclohexanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol. The bottles containing each alcohol are labelled‚ but the propettes used are not. The student accidentally muddles the propettes. When drops of each alcohol are mixed with Lucas. Reagent and kept at 27 °C‚ both solutions become turbid. How can the
