Haloalkanes

Question 1

general formula for haloalkanes with one halogen bonded to it

Answer 1

Question 2

Primary haloalkane

Answer 2

1 carbon atom

Question 3

Secondary haloalkane

Answer 3

2 Carbon atoms

Question 4

Tertiary haloalkane

Answer 4

3 carbon atom

Question 5

bonding in haloalkanes

Answer 5

London forces and permanent dipole to dipole interactions

Question 6

what doe haloalkanes react with

Answer 6

nucleophiles

Question 7

what is a hydrolysis reaction an example of ?

Answer 7

Nucleophilic substitution

Question 8

Conditions for nucleophilic substitution

Answer 8

we add ethanol beuse haloalkanes are insoluble in water. Ethanol solubilies haloalkanes so they can react with the nucleophile

60 degrees

Question 9

nucleophilie sub with chloromethane and hydroxide ion

Answer 9

Question 10

The Rate of Hydrolysis of Haloalkanes by Nucleophilic Substitution

Answer 10

in a testube place 1cm of ethanol using a piipet

then add 0.1cm^3 of your haloalkane to each test tube

heat in a water bath at 60 degrees celsius

then in a separate test tube add aqueous silver nitrate. Then place in the same water bath

the wait for 10 mins for all the solutions to reach the same temp

the add 1 cm^3 of aquesos silvernitarte to each of the test tube.

white cream yellow

iodine forms first then
bromom
then chloro alkane

Question 11

Why do we use water ions for hydrolysis instead of hydroxide ions

Answer 11

Because hydroxide ions react with silver nitrate to form insoluble silver hydroxide

Question 12

whats a nuclophile

Answer 12

(an
electron pair donor
