haloalkanes Flashcards
1
Q
nucleophile
A
electron pair donor
2
Q
nucleophilic substitution of haloalkanes to form alcohols
A
reagents = aqueous alkali
conditions = heat under reflux
forms an alcohol and a metal halide
3
Q
nucleophilic substitution of alcohols to form haloalkanes
A
reagents = NaX, H2SO4
conditions = heat under reflux
forms a haloalkane and NaOH
4
Q
reactivity of haloalkanes
A
reactivity depends on the bond enthalpy of the C-X bond
bond enthalpy decreases going down the group
therefore reactivity increases
5
Q
measuring rate of hydrolysis
A
reagents = AgNO3
conditions = ethanol solvent and heat
measure time taken for precipitate to appear
6
Q
ozone depletion equation
A
O3 + O -> 2O2
