Ah thanks but isn't it HCl gas that is produced and it should evaporate ?


Why would it evaporate in water ImageUploadedByStudent Room1465327004.177033.jpg

I don't know, I guessed because they always mention the formation of misty fumes from this reaction, anyways thank you!! :smile:
Can somebody tell me why alcohols release less energy than the equivalent alkane? Whats the reason behind it?
Does anyone have a question on kinetics with three columns instead of two so I can work out the order of reactions?
I know how to do it with two columns but I want to practice with 3.

Hey guys! Could anyone help me understand why the answer is A. Thanks in advance :smile:

The ratio of hydrocarbon and water is 10:20 or 1:2. Because the volume of gas contracted is due to formation of water. There are 4 moles of hydrogen atoms in 2 moles of water. For all given options carbon has 4 moles. Hence answer is A.
Quick question y'all, about halogen displacement visualisations. When in a displacement reaction, and I2 is produced. What is the color change? I'm getting conflicting results, is it brown or deep purple? Isn't the color of iodine dark grey, so shouldnt it be grey?

I thought iodine produced a black precipitate?

See this is where I'm getting confused. Here are 2 different videos with different colors?

1) [video="youtube;A8NfWNzxlOQ"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8NfWNzxlOQ&index=5&list=PLX4e2DxFRGQJdG5Zr81v5OiE4f cD3mcAb[/video]

2) 7 minute mark: [video]https://youtu.be/XqAZgH6APcM?list=PL0yIQjy59R-DxAySwkCJVtnozgAmToHYd[/video]

I would use the second video (by Mr Rinthoul) as that was uploaded recently and I use his videos myself. The other video is from 2014 so its probably the old spec

I guess I'll just follow Mr Rintoul then. Thanks for the confirmation.

I think its usually due to the state of the halogen. I2 is browny yellow in solution and grey black as a solid and purple as a gas

How would you name: CH3-NH-CH(CH3)2

Can someone go over hydration reations quickly because I dont understand the mechanism
Can someone list all of the mechanisms we need to know?

Let me take a guess.

N-methylpropan-2-amine.

Oh yeaaah look at that http://www.chemexper.com/chemicals/supplier/cas/4747-21-1.html.
Free radical substitution
Nucleophilic substitution
Electrophilic addition
Elimination (dehydration)
Elimination
Acid catalysed addition
I think that's it!

Is this everything or have I missed something? ASMechanisms.pdf

Post 74 gives a summary of hydration.

Can anyone give me a brief rundown of a hydrogen fuel cell? What advantages does it have over an ethanol fuel cell?
Colour changes for methyl orange and phenolphtalein ?
