17
Q

What is a tertiary have halogenoalkane?

A

The carbon bonds it to the halogen attached are three other carbon atoms

18
Q

How do you name halogenoalkanes?

A

DuPont
Rightmost digit: number of fluorine atom is per molecule
Tens digit: 1+ the number of hydrogen atoms
Hundred digit: number of carbon atoms -1
Thousands digit: number of double bonds in the molecule
Unaccounted for bonds occupied by chlorine atoms
Suffix of a B or C indicating unbalanced isomers

19
Q

What sort of reaction is do halogenoalkanes generally undergo?

A

Substitution visit occasionally elimination

Flooring compounds are very stable say rarely undergo any reaction

20
Q

What is the general equation for A hydrolysis reaction with a halogenoalkane?

A

The hydroxide group substitutes for the halogen
RX +H2O –> ROH + HX
RX + OH- –> ROH + X-

21
Q

How do you speed up the hydrolysis reaction with a halogenoalkane?

A

The reaction with water is slow at room temperature but is more rapid with hydroxide ions

22
Q

What is the order of reactivity of the halogenoalkanes? Why?

A

Chloroalkanes are less reactive than Bromoalkanes are Iodoalkanes as the C – CL bond is much stronger, showing strength is more important than electronegativity

23
Q

What is alcoholic potassium hydroxide?

A

When potassium hydroxide is dissolved in ethanol

24
Q

What sort of reaction occurs between alcoholic potassium hydroxide and a halogenoalkane?

A

Elimination

A molecule of hydrogen halide is eliminated from the molecule forming an alkane as a product

25
Q

Give an sample of the reaction between an alcoholic potassium hydroxide and a halogen alkane

A

CH3BrCH3 + OH- –> CH2CH2 + H20 + Br-

26
Q

How must be reaction between a halogen alkane and alcoholic potassium hydroxide be carried out?

A

Refluxed and heated

27
Q

How alcoholic ammonia act when it reacts with a halogenoalkane?

A

Nucleophile due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, allowing them to easily replace a halogen atom

28
Q

Under what conditions must reaction between a halogenoalkane and alcoholic ammonia be carried out?

A

With concentrated ammonia in ethanol in a sealed tube

If done in reflux the ammonia would it escape at the condenser as it doesn’t condense

29
Q

Give an example of the reaction between alcoholic ammonia and a halogenoalkane

A

CH3I + NH3 –> CH3NH2(methylamine) + HI

Methylamine has a lone pair so reacts further

30
Q

What does the result of the reaction between an alcoholic ammonia and a halogen alkane confirm?

A

The rate of hydrolysis of the halogens

1-chlorobutane

31
Q

Describe an experiment that can be used to test the effect of the carbon skeleton in halogenoalkane

A

Three test tubes, containing either primary secondary or territory
Add 1 cm³ of silver nitrate
Add 1 cm³ of ethanol as a solvent
Leave them to stand after shaking

32
Q

What are the results of the reaction testing the carbon skeleton on a halogenalkane?

A

Primary

33
Q

How do you prepare a halogenoalkane from an alcohol?

A

With sodium bromide, water and concentrated sulphuric acid
Refluxed- sulphuric acid is added one drop at a time as the reaction is exothermic, the flask is also cooled using a beaker of cold water
Distilled- produces two layers and aqueous layer discarded

34
Q

What is the equation for preparing a halogenoalkane from an alcohol?

A

NaBr + H2SO4 –> NaHSO4 + HBr

CH3CH2OH + HBr –> CH3CH2Br + H20

35
Q

What properties are desirable in a refrigerant?

A

Not flammable, Not toxic, Unreactive, non-corrosive
(easily) compressible
does not harm the ozone layer
Boiling temperature below target temperature
high heat of vaporization high gas density
high critical temperature

36
Q

How is the bonding in gaseous hydrogen halides best described?

A

Mainly covalent with an increasing tendency to wards ionic as you go up the group

37
Q

Why is no chlorine produced when concentrated sulphuric in acid is added to solid sodium chloride yet bromine produced when added go sodium bromide?

A

The chlorine ion is a weaker reducing agent and the bromine ion

38
Q

When extracting iodine from an aqueous a solution in a separating funnel, which layer is the hydrocarbon layer?

A

Top

39
Q

What colour is chlorine water?

A

Pale yellow

40
Q

What is the colour of the solution when chlorine water is added to potassium iodide solution?

A

Red/brown
