Q

How do you compare the reactivities of halogenoalkanes?

A

1) Mix the halogenoalkane with water and silver nitrate solution, so that a silver halide precipitate is formed
2) Time how long it takes for the precipitate to form in each test tube

Q

When you react an alcohol with HBr, what is produced ?

A

17
Q

When you react an alcohol with red phosphorus and iodine, what is made?

A

An iodoalkane

18
Q

When alcohols are dehydrated, what do they form?

19
Q

What products are formed when an alcohol is refluxed with red phosphorus and iodine?

A

3RI + H3PO3

20
Q

What do primary alcohols oxidise to?

A

Aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids

21
Q

What do secondary alcohols oxidise to?

22
Q

What do tertiary alcohols oxidise to?

A

They don’t oxidise

23
Q

What is the general formula of aldehydes and ketones?

24
Q

What is the difference between a ketone and an aldehyde?

A

Ketones have 2 alkyl groups attatched to the carbonyl carbon atom, whereas aldehydes only have 1

25
How can you test whether a compound is an aldehyde or a ketone?
-Benedicts solution will turn brick-red if it is an aldehyde'
26
How do you get just an aldehyde from a primary alcohol?
You need to get it out of the oxidising solution as soon as it is formed. You can do this by gently heating excess alcohol with a controlled amount of oxdising agent in distillation apparatus, so the aldehyde is distilled off immediately
27
How do you oxidise secondary alcohols into ketones?
Under reflux
28
What is the only way of oxidising tertiary alcohols?
By burning them
29
What does refluxing make sure?
You don't lose any volatile organic substances
30
What problem does refluxing allow you to get around?
Organic compounds evaporating or catching fire before they have time to react
31
How does distillation work?
By gently heating a mixture, where the substances will evaporate out of the mixture in order of increasing boiling points
32
If a product and its impurities have different boiling points, what should you use to seperate them?
Distillation
33
What does separation do?
It removes any water soluble impurities from the product
34
When do you use separation?
If a product is insoluble
35
How do you do the process of separation?
1) Pour the mixture into a separating funnel and add water 2) Shake the funnel and allow it to settle 3) The organic layer and the aqueous layer should separate
36
What is meant by the term reflux?
A contnuous boiling,evaporation and condensation. It's done to prevent loss of volatile liquids while heating
37
How can you remove traces of water from a mixture?
Add an anhydrous salt, such as calcium chloride which binds to any water present
