T-pentyl Chloride Lab
1. Define Le Chatilier’s principle, and describe how it applies to the synthesis of t-pentyl chloride in concentrated HCl, or the conversion of t-pentyl chloride to t-pentyl alcohol during the aqueous extraction.
2. When doing boiling point determination with a capillary tube
and boiling bell, what is the gas that is appearing in slow bubbles
when t-pentyl chloride is heated to 70 °C?
3. When doing boiling point determination with a capillary tube
and boiling bell, what is the gas that is appearing in rapid
bubbles when t-pentyl chloride is heated to 86 °C?

SYNTHESIS OF T-PENTYL CHLORIDE LAB Provide a stoichiometry table for the reaction being performed in this lab. PROCEDURE Preparation oft-Pentyl Chloride In a 125-mL separatory funnel, place 10.0 mL of tert-pentyl alcohol (2-methyl-2- butanol, MW = 88.2, d = 0.805 g/mL) and 25 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (d 1.18 g/mL). Do not stopper the funnel. Gently swirl the mixture in the separa- tory funnel for about 1 minute. After this period of swirling, stopper the separatory funnel and carefully...
