PLANNING AIM: The purpose of this experiment is to find out how the rate of hydrolysis of an organic halogen compound depends on the identity of the halogen atom, and the nature of the carbon-hydrogen 'skeleton'. I will be comparing the rates of hydrolysis of the primary substances 1-chlorobutane, 1-bromobutane, 1-iodobutane, and will investigate the rate of hydrolysis of the tertiary substance 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. From the results I will then go on to deduce a rate expression/equation and a possible mechanism for the reaction. Calculations that are to be carried out include that of gradients and rates of the graph. This is needed because the gradient of the graph gives us the rate of reaction. A rate for each tangent taken needs to be worked out so that a rate graph can be constructed, which will give the order of the hydrolysis of the haloalkane. Example: Figure 1 (I) Rate = Gradient Gradient = Y2 -...
