When a pure sample of tert-butyl bromide is analyzed by gas chromatography, two components are usually observed. One of them is tert-butyl bromide and the other one is a decomposition product. As the temperature of the injector is increased, the amount of the decomposition product increases and the amount of tert-butyl bromide decreases.a. What is the structure of the decomposition product?b. Why does the amount of decomposition increase with increasing temperature?c. Why does tert-butyl bromide decompose much more easily than tert-butyl chloride?

Organic Chemistry Correct Separation Scheme * cannot be hand drawn *see attached image of "incorrect separation scheme" Illustrate a correct separation scheme to isolate your molecule (2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene) from the provided second molecule. Make sure to indicate the phase of each chemical in every step (s, l, g, aq) and write the separation technique used in each step (ie: vacuum filtration). The list below gives the reagents available in the lab. Use any of the reagents below to isolate the compounds. Remember that the simplest separation scheme is the best one. Try to avoid unnecessary steps. · 10% aqueous NaOH · H2O · 5% aqueous NaHCO3 · H3PO4 · 6M HCl · anhydrous Na2SO4 · 5% HCl · anhydrous MgSO4 · Diethyl ether (ether) · Saturated NaCl · CH3OH · Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) · lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) · NaCl solid
