OR
Cl + * CH3 ->CH3Cl
OR

22
Q

Define Fractional Distillation

A

Process used to separate hydrocarbons of different lengths from crude oil through different boiling points

23
Q

Outline the 3 steps of Fractional Distillation

A
  1. Crude Oil vaporised
  2. Vapours rise, cool, condensed
  3. Proucts siphoned off
24
Q

Outline how the hydrocarbons are separated when vapourised

A

Depends on boiling points
Long C Chain = condense low
Short C chain = condense high
Mushroom trays - collect can’t go back down

25
Q

Define Haloalkane

A

Alkane bonded to Halogen atom(s)

26
Q

Define Nucleophile

A

e- pair donor - attracted to areas of low e- density

27
Q

Define Electrophile

A

e- pair acceptor - attracted to areas of hi e- density

28
Q

Define Electronegativity

A

Ability 4 atom to attract e- in covalent bond

29
Q

Outline the 3 types of Haloalkane

A

Primary = 2 or 3 H
Secondary = 1 H
Tertiary = No H

30
Q

Outline the 3 physical properties of Haloalkanes

A
  1. C Chain increase=boiling point + VDW forces increase
  2. Down group 7 = boiling point increase
  3. If < room temp state is (g)
31
Q

Outline the 3 factors affecting haloalkane boiling point

A
  1. C chain length (more VDW)
  2. Type of Halogen (more e-=stronger VDW)
  3. Primary, Secondary or Tertiary
32
Q

Outline why there are permanent dipole forces in Haloalkanes

A

Electronegativity diff with C & Halogen
C is + dipole Halogen is - dipole

33
Q

Outline the outlier to Haloalkane permanent dipoles

A

Iodine (so big)

34
Q

Why don’t permanent dipoles impact the boiling points?

A

Due to increasing strength of VDW Forces the hi e- Number outweighs loss of permanent dipole

35
Q

Outline the 3 types of Haloalkanes

A

Primary = 2/3 H
Secondary = 1 H
Tertiary = No H

36
Q

Outline the trend in BP for the type of Haloalkane

A

Primary highest:
Closer together -> stronger VDW = more energy to break

37
Q

Why are Haloalkanes only slightly soluble in water?

A

Must break VDWs & H bonds between H2O molecules

38
Q

What does the reactivity of Haloalkanes depend on?

A

Bond length: C-F < C-Cl < C-Br < C-I
Bond strength: C-I < C-Br < C-Cl < C-F
Molecule size: F < Cl < Br < I

39
Q

Define Nucleophilic substitution

A

Nucleophile replaces a group/atom in OG Molecule

40
Q

Describe the general mechanism for Haloalkane Nucleophilic Substitution

A

1.-ve Nucleophile attacks Chiral C
2. C has 5 bonds 1 bond breaks
3. Halogen removed, becomes -

41
Q

Outline the nucleophilic substitution of Haloalkanes with Hyrdoxide Ions

A

Haloalkanes + OH- boiled under reflux + (aq) NaOH/(aq) KOH
Forms alcohols

42
Q

Describe the mechanism for Nucleophilic Substitution of Haloalkanes with Hydroxide Ions

A

OH- (nucleophile) attacks + dipole C from behind
Halogen leaves - becomes Halide ion

43
Q

Outline the nucleophilic substitution of Haloalkanes with Cyanide Ions

A

Haloalkanes + CN- boiled under reflux + (aq) ethanol
Forms Nitriles

44
Q

Outline the reaction for the nucleophilic substitution of Haloalkanes with Hydroxide ions.

A

R-X + OH- -> R-OH + X-

45
Q

Outline the reaction for the nucleophilic substitution of Haloalkanes with Cyanide ions.

A

R-X + CN- -> R-CN + X-

46
Q

Describe the mechanism for the nucleophilic substitution of Haloalkanes with Cyanide ions.

A

Same as Hydroxide ions

47
Q

Outline the conditions of the nucleophilic substitution of ammonia and alkanes

A

Ethanolic ammonia in a sealed tube - primary amine formed

48
Q

Outline the 4 steps of the nucleophilic substitution of ammonia and alkanes

A
  1. e- pair on NH3 attacks + dipole C
  2. NH3 must remove a H atom & Halide ion forms
  3. H atom forms +NH4 with another NH3 molecule
  4. +NH4 attracted to -Halide ion
49
Q

Outline the 3 conditions for the elimination of Haloalkanes

A
  1. NaOH/KOH as a base
  2. No H2O present ethanol needed as a solvent
  3. Heat needed
50
Q

Describe the mechanism of the elimination reaction of Haloalkanes

A
  1. :OH- attacks H atom on C adjacent to C atom with Halogen to form H2O
  2. H breaks off forming a C=C - Halogen atom breaks off = Halide ion
51
Q

Outline how the type of halogenoalkane determines either an elimination or nucleophilic substitution

A

Primary = Nucleophilic Substitution
Secondary = Both
Tertiary = Elimination
