(a)
Interpretation: The mechanistic basis for silver nitrate test that may help to distinguish between primary and secondary alkyl bromides should be determined.
Concept introduction:Silver Nitrate performed in the presence of ethanol can help in identification of various kinds of
When silver nitrate is added to a reaction mixture of particular alkyl halide it forms a precipitate of silver halide. This precipitation may occur within 2 minutes or after some delay. The rate is different for each of the alkyl bromide. The precipitation occurs immediately in case of tertiarythan in secondary alkyl halide or primary alkyl halide.
(b)
Interpretation: The mechanistic basis for sodium iodide in acetonetest that may help to distinguish between primary and secondary alkyl bromides has to be determined.
Concept introduction:Sodium iodide inperformed in the presence of acetonecan also help in identification of various kinds of alkyl halides.
When sodium iodide is added to a reaction mixture of particular alkyl halide it forms a precipitate of silver halide long with substituted product. This precipitation may occur within 2 minutes or after some delay. The rate is different for each of the alkyl bromide. The precipitation occurs immediately in case of tertiary than in secondary alkyl halide or primary alkyl halide.

- Separating t-butyl chloride from the reaction mixture. What is the purpose of washing with the following? . a. With cold water b. With sodium bicarbonate solutionarrow_forwardwhat will happen to the reaction of acetone in the sodium nitroprusside Test and in the iodoform test? what will happen if liquid Benzaldehyde is exposed into the air?arrow_forwardWhat is the chemical composition of the nitrating mixture? Why does the incoming nitro group go para and not ortho?arrow_forward
- in a liquid-liquid extraction, why is ethyl acetate a good initial solvent to dissolve a mixture of benzoic acid, 4-bromoacetophenone and ethyl 4-aminobenzoate? the extraction solvent is sodium bicarbonate.arrow_forwardThis experiment is the Separation of a mixture of 3-nitroaniline, Benzoic acid, and naphthalene using an acid-base separation extraction technique What properties of the three compounds in this experiment allow you to use the above technique to separate them?Why are you asked to use multiple portions of the solvent at the extraction steps?Why are you asked not to discard any solvents until you have obtained your products?arrow_forwardExplain why quick formation of a white precipitate upon treating a compound with saturated sodium iodide in acetone serves as evidence that the compound is a primary alkyl chloride or primary alkyl bromide.arrow_forward
- STARTING WITH 18MG OF 2-methyl-2-butanol (a) theoretical yield of alkene mixture (g) and (b) theoretical volume of alkene mixture (ml) expected to be obtained in this experiment.arrow_forwardHow does washing with 10% sodium bicarbonate help to isolate ethyl cinnamate in each synthesis reaction? As part of your answer show the reaction of aqueous sodium bicarbonate with cinnamic acid and with cinnamoyl chloride (remembering that cinnamoyl chloride hydrolyzes to cinnamic acid in water).arrow_forwardWhich experimental method would you recommend for the preparation of 1-bromooctane and of t-butyl bromide?arrow_forward
- Why is it necessary to exclude moisture in the Grignard reaction? Be specific. What happens to the phenylmagnesium bromide if trace water is present? What compound is formed?arrow_forwardAccount for the greater amount of internal pressure in the aspirin extraction versus the ß- naphthol extraction.Why does the sequence for extracting the diethyl ether solution of aspirin acid, naphthalene, and ß-naphthol start with aqueous bicarbonate and follow with aqueous hydroxide rather than the reverse order?arrow_forwardFor extraction with ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and naphthalene using dichloromethane as the solvent, how does one separate the two compounds from one another?arrow_forward
