    1.   In both the sodium iodide test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react faster than 2-chlorobutane? Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than chlorine is. 2.   a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both SN1 and SN2 conditions?             Benzyl chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2 conditions.             The primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.         b. Why is...

    Question 28 1 pts Imagine that a scientist mixes bromoethane and sodium tert-butoxide in 2-methyl-2-propanol. What type of reaction is likely to predominate? Remember to consider the type of alkyl halide that is involved, and remember also to consider whether the anion will act predominantly as a base or as a nucleophile or as both a base and a nucleophile. If the latter, consider the figure below to guide your decision. Finally, remember to consider the Apka rule, as it...

    An unknown mixture (dissolved in diethyl ether) contains only 2 of the following : benzoic acid, phenol, aniline and napthalene. You use the acid-base extraction method and want to identify the 2 compounds in your original mixture. 1) To separate the organic acid you add NaOH and to separate the organic base you add HCl.In both cases these extractions are followed by extractions with water. Why do we add water? Why is this step important? (A clear explanation please). 2)When...
