AIM OF EXPERIMENT: TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF REACTION OF HALOGENOALKANES EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED * Eye protection * Marking pens or labels * A test tube rack and 6 test tubes * Beaker ( 250cm3) * Bunsen burner, tripod stand * Measuring cylinder (10cm3) * Thermometer ( 0oC-100oC) * Stop clock * Source of laser light. * 1-bromobutane* * 1-chlorobutane # * 1-iodobutane* * Silver nitrate solution (0.1mol dm-3) * Ethanol# * Dropping pipettes : 1 for each bottle * Source of hot water * Harmful. Eye protection must be worn # Highly inflammable. Keep tubes and bottles away from naked flame. INTRODUCTION A halogenoalkane is a compound which has a carbon (C) - halogen(X) bond in its carbon chain. The C?+? X?-bond is polarised due to the difference in electro negativity between the carbon atom and the halogen atom. This induces the slightly positive charge on the carbon atom and the slightly negative charge on the halogen atom. The slightly positive charge on the carbon atom makes it open...
