Reactions Of Halogenoalkanes 1 Chemsheets Answers Exclusive -

“1-bromopropane is heated with NaOH(aq) and separately with NaOH in ethanol. State the major product in each case and explain.”

Add ethanol (to dissolve the organic halide), then aqueous silver nitrate. Warm gently. reactions of halogenoalkanes 1 chemsheets answers exclusive

Both reactions start with the same halogenoalkane and a base/nucleophile (e.g., OH⁻). The outcome depends on: Both reactions start with the same halogenoalkane and

This is a slower, less vigorous reaction than with OH⁻. Otherwise, the tables and mechanisms above represent the

R-X + Ag⁺ (from AgNO₃) + H₂O → R-OH + AgX(s) + H⁺

If you can share the first line of a specific question from the Chemsheets (without the whole copyrighted text), I can show you exactly how to apply these principles. Otherwise, the tables and mechanisms above represent the complete, exclusive answer key to every concept in that worksheet.

| Factor | Favors Substitution (SN2 or SN1) | Favors Elimination (E2 or E1) | |---|---|---| | | Lower temp (25°C) | Higher temp (>60°C, reflux) | | Nucleophile/Base | Strong nucleophile, weak bulky base (e.g., OH⁻, CN⁻, NH₃) | Strong, bulky base (e.g., KOH in ethanol , not water; or tert-butoxide) | | Halogenoalkane structure | Primary (SN2 only); Tertiary (SN1) | Tertiary (E1 or E2); primary needs strong bulky base (E2) | | Solvent | Polar protic (water, alcohols) for SN1; Polar aprotic (DMSO, acetone) for SN2 | Polar protic also works; non-polar favors E2 |
