Design an Experiment with Elimination of Secondary Halide

I need help designing an experiment using a secondary halide, 2-bromohexane or 2-bromoheptane as the beginning material. I know that the things I need to do are use NaOH, -OH, and CH3OH to come up with the products of an alkene and secondary alcohol. I need specfic reactions, materials, and procedures. I then plan to use GC/M ...continues

Properties of alkanes

If gasoline is spilled into a lake, an oil slick floatin on the surface forms rapidly. What properties of alkanes are responsible for such oil slicks? Please answer in full. Thanks for your time.

2 alkyl group

Define what we mean by an alkyl group? Please answer in full. Thanks for your time.

3 strengths of covalent bonds

Can the relative strengths of the covalent bonds in 02 and Cl2 be determined solely from the melting temperatures? The boiling temperatures? Briefly explain your response. Please answer in full. Thanks for your time.

6 molecular structure formula

Draw a molecular structure formula formula for an acyclic alkane with eight carbon atoms.

Stability of cis and trans organic compounds.

trans-1,2- Dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than cis-1,2-dimethylcyclobutane, but cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than trans-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane. Draw the sterochemical (3-D) structures and explain these observations.

Formation of a gas

A solution containing an unknown amount of methyl alcohol that is dissolved in n-octane is added to an excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is dissolved in the high boiling solvent, n-butyl ether. A gas is evolved from the reaction. The gas is collected and its volume determined to be 1.04 ml (corrected to STP). What is the ...continues

3 Lab Questions

1. Think and describe what you would do in each of the following situations which could happen in your laboratory. a. You are working at your station and the 100-mL round-bottom flask in which you are running a reaction in ether solvent suddenly catches fire. b. The person working across the laboratory bench from you allows ...continues
