Question

In the separation of t-butyl chloride from the reaction mixture, what is the purpose of the following washes? Cold water: Sodium bicarbonate: Water: In the separation of n-butyl chloride from the reaction mixture, what is the purpose of the following washes? Concentrated sulfuric acid: Water: Sodium hydroxide: The addition of anhydrous calcium chloride to the crude product obtained from the separation procedure often results in the product becoming clear (transparent). What causes this clearing? Benzyl chloride, though a primary halide, readily forms a precipitate when treated with 2% ethanolic silver nitrate. Explain.

Explanation / Answer

a)

Cold water --> all salts & cooling

b)

sodium bicarbonate --> reaction of acid to form salts and carbonates

c)

water --> clean all ions such as Na+ and other

Q2

a)

sulfuric acid -> neutralization of bases/carbonates

b)

water --> get rid of aquous salts

c)

Na(OH) --> neutralization of acids to form the respective salt for extraction

Q3

the clearing is essentially the increased solubility of the specie due to the Ca and Cl- ions... t

Q4

Benzyl Chloride will form prcipitates, since Ag and Cl- are present
