Alkene synthesis

Question 1

Name of the first reaction:

Answer 1

dehydration; removing drops of alcohol from alkene

Question 2

Acid used:

Answer 2

Protonatin agent

Question 3

what is boiling chips used for ?

Answer 3

used to stop the strong boiling and homogenize the boiling and they stop the super heating

Question 4

Distillation is required to

Answer 4

eliminate the acid

Question 5

distillation flask vs receiving flask

Answer 5

Distillation flask has OH and hpo4
Receiving flask has h20 h-oh (alkene) and maybe hpo4

Question 6

When neutralizing acid with a base the product will be ?

Answer 6

salt

Question 7

All salts are?

Answer 7

water-soluble

Question 8

what is halogenation

Answer 8

from an alkene we are froming a haloalkane

All halogen has color

Brown to color less

Question 9

To makes sure we have an alkene

Answer 9

the brown color disappear which mean there is an Alkene

Question 10

Purpose of this experiment:

Answer 10

a) Preparation of an alkene by dehydration (elimination of water) of an alcohol in the
presence of an acid catalyst.

b) Calculation of percentage recovery of product.

c) Test for purity and identification of alkenes
