Q
Haloalkanes can be prepared from:
A
Alkanes (UV light with halogen)
Alkenes (with halogen or hydrogen halide)
Alcohols ( NaX - sodium halide and concentrated H2SO4
2
Q
What does word end with if an alcohol?
A
ol
3
Q
Define Hydrolysis
A
The breaking of a covalent bond through the reaction with water
4
Q
Define nucleophile
A
Electron pair donor
5
Q
Why does C-I have the lowest bond enthalpy in alkanes
A
The attraction energy for the hydrolysis of Iodoalkanes will be lower than that for equivalent halokanes with different halogens
The rate of hydrolysis for the iodoalkane will be highest.
6
Q
Define bond enthalpy
A
Energy needed to break one mole of a particular bond
