Q

How can the side reaction be minimized?

A

adding bromobenzene slowly

17
Q

Give some examples of the hazards of Et2O

A

Flammable
Hard to dispense (generates pressure), vaporize in exothermic reactions
Need ice water in condenser
Forms explosive peroxides with air, absorbs moisture with air
Anesthetic in high concentrations

18
Q

How does reaction rate relate to temperature?

A

reaction rate doubles with every 10*C increase

19
Q

Name the drying agent we will use (in drying tube)

A

drierite

20
Q

How is H2 gas formed?

A

The HCl added to neutralize the reaction will react with unused Mg metal, producing the H2 gas
