Bromine water

How to Know if it’s SN1
Tertiary (Positive induction of 3 alkyl groups to spread the charge)
Maybe Secondary
SN1 reactions are favoured by protic polar solvents
Polar protic solvents have O–H or N–H bonds
How to Know if it’s SN2
Primary (Tertiary too many bulky attached groups therefore cannot accomodate 5 groups)
Maybe Secondary
SN2 reactions are favoured by aprotic polar solvents
These solvents lack O–H or N–H bonds and are not able to form hydrogen bonds.
SN2 vs SN1 states
SN2 has a transition state
SN1 has an intermediate

Buffers
Akali buffers are made up of a weak base and a salt which can fully dissociate into the conjugate acid.
Acidic buffers are made up of weak acid and a salt which can fully dissociate into the conjugate base.
Halogenatation
Halogenatation is where the hydrogen is replaced by a halogen, a UV light is required to break the initial Cl-Cl bond
Naming which side
In alkene the double bond takes priority over the functional group in deciding which side to go from
Saturated carbons have no double or triple bonds
k units
The units of k are (mol dm-3sec-1)
Everytime the Overall order increases you divide by (mol dm-3)
Arrhenius Equation
