CHEMISTRY COURSEWORK

HYDROLYSIS OF HALOGENOALKANES

Aim: My aim is to design and carry out a procedure to compare the rate of hydrolysis of the three liquid halogenoalkanes: 1- Chlorobutane

1- Bromobutane

1- Iodobutane

density/g cm-2

1-bromobutane 1.28

1-chorobutane 0.89

1-iodobutane 1.62

Less than 1 floats

More than 1 sinks

1-Chlorobutane C4H9Cl

relative molecular mass=92.5g mol-1 Density=0.89g cm-3

mol-1 cm-3 = 0.89 = 0.00962 mol cm-3

92.5

cm3 mol -1 = 1 =104cm3 mol -1

0.00962

1-Bromobutane C4H9Br

relative molecular mass = 137g mol-1 Density=1.28g cm-3

mol-1 cm-3 = 1.28 = 0.00934 mol cm-3

137

cm3 mol-1 = 1 =107cm3mol-1

0.00934

1-Iodobutane C4H9I

relative molecular mass =184g mol-1 Density=1.62g cm-3

mol-1 cm-3 = 1.62 = 0.00880 mol cm-3

184

cm3 mol-1 = 1 =114cm3mol-1

0.00880

As you can see the results, the conclusion for my result are too big to fit into a test tube, hence I will have to make it smaller so it can fit into the
