Hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the rate of hydrolysis of 1-chlorobutane, 1-bromobutane, and 1-iodobutane. Method For this experiment I will need the following apparatus: - - 3 test tubes - aqueous silver nitrate solution - 1-chlorobutane - 1-bromobutane - 1-iodobutane - pipette - Ethanol - Stop clock * For this experiment firstly measure out 2.6cm3 of 1-chlorobutane using a pipette. Then for 1-bromobutane measure out 2.7cm3 and finally measure out 2.8cm3 of 1-iodobutane and put them all in their separate test tubes. - The reason for using a pipette is that this is the most accurate way to measure out exact quantities of the haloalkanes. * Then measure out 4cm3 of Silver nitrate to add to the haloalkanes. - The silver nitrate is added to the haloalkanes because when the two are added together the halide ions that are produced form a silver halide precipitate. The precipitate tells us about the rate of hydrolysis...
