Question
Answer
Describe the mechanism for the Nucleophilic substitution of a HalogenoAlkane with COLD aqueous hydroxide ions   Present: show DELTA+/- on the C-X bond and lone PAIR on the OH-; attack: from the PAIR on OH- to the Cdelta+ (TOUCH-TOUCH); polarised C-X folds  
🗑
Describe the mechanism for the Nucleophilic substitution of a HalogenoAlkane with cyanide ions   Present: show DELTA+/- on the C-X bond and lone PAIR on the CN- (the pair is on the carbon!); attack: from the PAIR on CN- to the Cdelta+ (TOUCH-TOUCH); polarised C-X folds  
🗑
Describe the mechanism for the Nucleophilic substitution of a HalogenoAlkane with water   Present: show DELTA+/- and lone PAIR on the H2O; attack: from the PAIR on H2O to the Cdelta+ (TOUCH-TOUCH); polarised C-X folds; REWRITE; check charges: the O is (+) because it has 3 bonds; FURTHER: the O-H bond folds onto the Oxygen to release H+  
🗑
Describe the mechanism for the Nucleophilic substitution of a HalogenoAlkane with ammonia   Present: show DELTA+/- and lone PAIR on the NH3; attack: from the PAIR on NH3 to the Cdelta+ (TOUCH-TOUCH); polarised C-X folds; REWRITE; check charges: the N is (+) because it has 4 bonds; FURTHER: the N-H bond folds onto the Nitrogen to release H+  
🗑
Describe the mechanism for the Elimination of a HalogenoAlkane with HOT ethanolic hydroxide ions   Present: show DELTA+/- on the C-X bond and lone PAIR on the OH-; attack: from the PAIR on OH- to the H ADJACENT to the C-X (TOUCH-TOUCH); C-H folds to the MIDDLE of the C-C bond; polarised C-X folds: in TOTAL THREE CURLY ARROWS  
🗑
What are the conditions for the formation of an AlkEne from a Halogenoalkane?   hot, ethanolic hydroxide  
🗑
During the Elimination reaction, what is the role of hydroxide ions?   The hydroxide ions acts as a base  
🗑
During the Nucleophilic Substitution reaction, what is the role of hydroxide ions?   The hydroxide ion acts as a nucleophile  
🗑
What type of reaction is there with Ethanolic hydroxide ions?   Elimination  
🗑
What type of reaction is there with aqueous hydroxide ions?   Nucleophilic substitution  
🗑
Name CH3CCl2CH3   2,2DichloroPropane; did you remember to number EACH chloro?  
🗑
Name (CH3)2CH2CHClCH3   2Chloro4MethylButane (or 4Chloro2MethylButane both are fine); the important part is that substituents should be in ALPHABETICAL order!  
🗑
Write the structural formula for 2Bromo2Methylpropane   CH3-C(Br)(CH3)-CH3  
🗑
Which bond C-X is the most polarised? C-Cl, C-Br or C-I?   C-Cl  
🗑
Which bond C-X has the highest bond enthalpy? C-Cl, C-Br or C-I? Why?   C-Cl because the Cl has the smallest atomic radius so the bond C-X is shortest and short=strong  
🗑
Describe the experiment to determine the kinetics (rate of) the hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes   Place Halogenoalkane in dil NaOH with Silver Nitrate; OH- replaces the halogen; this releases X- ion; the first precipitate to appear will show which C-X bond broke down first  
🗑
During the experiment to determine the kinetics (rate of) the hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes, a yellow precipitate appears first. What is the formula of the precipitate?   yellow= AgI (LEARN)  
🗑
During the experiment to determine the kinetics (rate of) the hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes, a yellow precipitate of AgI appears first. What can we conclude about what determines how fast the C-X breaks?   yellow ppt=IodIDE was liberated first=It is the C-I that breaks down first (and not the C-Cl, the most polarised bond as could have been thought)=therefore main factor is bond enthalpy  
🗑
What is the colour of the Silver Chloride precipitate?   white  
🗑
What is the colour of the Silver Bromide precipitate?   cream  
🗑
What is the colour of the Silver Iodide precipitate?   yellow  
🗑
What is the IONIC equation for the precipitation of Silver Iodide?   Ag+(aq) + I-(aq) --> AgI(s); there are not many IONIC equations that you will come across: this is one of them!  
🗑
What is the IONIC equation for the reaction of chloride ions with silver nitrate?   Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s); remember the states! did you realise that the Nitrate is not involved (SNAP!)  
🗑
What is the equation for the reaction of 2-Chlorobutane with aqueous sodium hydroxide?   Nucleophilic substitution; CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3 + OH- ->CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3 + Cl-; the Sodium does not take part (SNAP!)  
🗑
What is the equation for the reaction of 2-Chlorobutane with ethanolic sodium hydroxide?   It is an elimination! CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3 + OH- ->CH3-CH=CH-CH3 + HCl; OR CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3 + OH- ->CH3-CH2-CH=CH2 + HCl; the Sodium does not take part (SNAP!); remember to check for E/Z isomers in the products  
🗑
What is the equation for the reaction of 2-Chlorobutane with cyanide ions?   Nucleophilic substitution; CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3 + CN- ->CH3-CH2-CH(CN)-CH3 + Cl-;  
🗑
What is the equation for the reaction of 2-Chlorobutane with ammonia?   Nucleophilic substitution; CH3-CH2-CHCl-CH3 + NH3 ->CH3-CH2-CH(NH2)-CH3 + HCl;  
🗑
Iodo Methane has the highest boiling point from FluoroMethane or Iodomethane. Explain why.   IodoMethane; both are molecular covalent; both have VdW and pd-pd; Iodine is less electronegative so weaker pd-pd but but more electrons on Iodo so stronger VdW; VdW outweighs pd-pd on this occasion  
🗑
Name a nucleophile with a negative charge   OH- or CN-  
🗑
Name a neutral nucleophile (no charge)   H2O or NH3  
🗑
Name a nucleophile that increases the carbon chain by 1 unit (ie if you start with Bromoethane, that has 2 carbons, the product will have 3 carbons)?   CN- (cyanide)  
🗑
What are the reaction conditions for the reaction of a Halogenoalkane with Ammonia?   in a sealed tube  
🗑
How many organic products are formed during the elimination reaction of 2iodopentane?   Pent1Ene; E-Pent2Ene and Z-Pent2Ene; remember to always check for E/Z isomers when the product of the reaction are AlkEnes  
🗑
