    Investigating the Reaction Between Bromine and Cyclohexane By adding bromine to a mixture of Cyclohexane and water, and placing the mixture under a bright light and shaking from time to time, Hydrogen Bromide is formed. This reaction is shown below: [IMAGE]C6H12 + Br2 C6H11Br + HBr When the bromine has all reacted and the red colour has gone, the hydrogen bromide can be titrated with sodium hydroxide. This reaction is shown below: [IMAGE]HBr + NaOH NaBr + H2O From this titration

    and both syn and anti addition. The syn addition is where both bromine atoms are added to the same face of the alkene. The anti addition is where both bromine atoms are added to opposite sides of the alkene. The syn addition mechanism is a concerted reaction since all bonds are made and broken at the same time. The pi bond from the C=C double bond is given to one of the bromine atoms. The Br–Br bond is broken and one of the bromine atoms acqu... ... middle of paper ... ...ge of 202-204 ᵒC. Therefore

    performed in order to compare the ability of bromine atoms to react with hydrogen atoms of different classifications. The experiment compared aromatic, aliphatic and benzylic hydrogen atoms of primary, secondary, and tertiary classifications. The time it took for the reaction to occur was measured and compared between the different hydrocarbons. This rate of reaction was used to determine the reactivity of the various hydrogen atoms on the hydrocarbons with bromine. Data and Results Toluene, which contained

    reactive than rubidium (which you weren’t allowed to observe directly!) Today, you will use displacement reactions to work out the order of reactivity of the Group 17 halogen elements using Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine. Hypothesis: I predict that in order of reactivity of the three it will be Chlorine, Bromine than Iodine. They are all in the same group 17 (Halogens) but in different periods which has an effect on the elements properties such as the electronegativity decreasing. Chlorine is the most electronegative

    this molecule is an alkene, the electrophilic addition of bromine causes the bromine to break and add to the carbon carbon double bond. This mechanism essentially can be considered to have two routes, but three different products. One route will use from a three membered ring (cyclic) with a bromine cation, which will in turn from a meso product (Meso-stilbene dibromide) due to the Sn2 (2nd order bimolecular) addition of bromine, as bromine can only attack the carbon from the opposite side. The meso

    The isomerization procedure was done in order to create dimethyl fumarate from dimethyl maleate. Dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate are cis and trans isomers, respectively. This procedure was done via a free radical mechanism using bromine. The analysis of carvones reaction was done in order to identify the smell and optical rotation of the carvone samples that were provided. The odor was determined by smelling the compound and the optical rotation was determined using a polarimeter. Data and

  • Alternatives to Chlorine in Swimming Pools

    provides’. One of the primary alternatives to chlorine in swimming pools is Bromine. Bromine is an extremely effective pool sanitiser, successfully killing harmful bacteria found in pools. The compound can only be added in one of two very specific methods – making it very expensive. As Missouri Department Of Health And Senior Services Section For Environmental Public Health, 2014 (p. 14, 15) describes; ‘For pool sanitation, bromine compounds are sold in two solid forms - a two-part system that uses a bromide

    solid and gray but when heated iodine transfers straight from a gray solid to a violet purple gas. Iodine is found primarily in seawater, sea weed, old salt brines and salt wells, and costal sand and nitrate deposits. Iodine is formed similar to bromine; chlorine oxidizes the iodide ion (I-) found in seaweed into iodine (I) (McQuarrie, 2007). Silver iodide (AgI) and calcium diiodate (Ca(IO3)2) are the most common minerals of iodine. Although pure iodine is toxic, elemental iodine is combined with

    ultraviolet light. The bromine and fluorine in these chemicals act as catalysts, reforming ozone (O3) molecules and monatomic oxygen into molecular oxygen (O2). In volcanic eruptions, the sulfate aerosols released are a natural cause of ozone depletion. The hydrolysis of N2O5 on sulfate aerosols, coupled with the reaction with chlorine in HCl, ClO, ClONO2 and bromine compounds, causes the breakdown of ozone. The sulfate aerosols cause chemical reactions in addition to chlorine and bromine reactions on stratospheric

    reason why using silver nitrate is discouraged is because silver has a strong attraction to bromine, resulting in a harshly formed complex. According to Le Chatelier’s Principle, this complex shifts the chemical equilibrium due to the formation of a salt precipitate. In order to improve this experiment, a different nucleophile, such as copper sulfate, could have been used in order to prevent the silver and bromine complex from forming. Instead of silver, lead is also a good alternative to act as a catalyst

    color was less pigmented. In addition to this, the bromine test performed at the end of the investigation yielded slightly varying results. The color change identified in the case of the bromine/dichloromethane and added 5 drops of olive oil turned out to change the original orange/red color of the bromine/dichloromethane to a clear and unpigmented liquid. The addition of hydrogenated olive oil (product) to the originally orange/red colored bromine/dichloromethane ended up turning clear similar to

    acetophenone, 4-methyl-acetophenone, and 4-bromo-acetophenone. We hypothesized that the differences in reactivity would be affected by the electronegativity of substituent. Therefore, we predicted that the 4-bromoacetophenone react the fastest since bromine is a more electronegative substituent, followed by 4-methyl-acetophenonoe, and acetophenone. For the most part, we followed the procedure from week 1. After dissolving 0.1g of 4-bromoacetophenone in 2ml of 95% ethanol, I cooled the solution in an
