Investigation of rate of hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes By Fiona Li L6LB Introduction In this experiment, it is intended to investigate the relationship between different types of halogenoalkanes and their rate of hydrolysis. Three different types of halogenoalkanes will be used in this experiment. They are 1-chlorobutane, 1-bromobutane and 1-iodobutane. Outline of the experiment The experiment will be done by using different types of halogenoalkanes, with a suitable volume of ethanol added in each test tube. Placing the test tubes into the water bath and stand for few minutes to ensure the temperature of the solution mixture remains constant for a fair test. Silver nitrate is added into the mixture and shakes afterwards. The mixture will then undergo hydrolysis following this equation: RH (l) + H2O (l) --> ROH (l) + H+ + X- N.B The water molecules come from the aqueous silver nitrate solution At the same time, the stopwatch will be press started to record the...
