Question

1-Chlorobutane is harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed t the skin. Wear gloves and use the reagent in a hood, if possible. SAFETY INFORMATION 2.2.4-Trimethylpentane is lammable and a skin irritant. Wear gloves and use the reagent in a hood, if possible. Sodíium hypochlorite solution, when acidified, e is toxic as well as an eye and respiratory irritan a hood, if possible. emits chlorine gas that t. Use the reagent in You will carry out the following radical chlorination procedure on 1-chlorobutane and 2.24-trimethylpentane. As part of your prelab prepa- ration, draw the structures for the possible monochlorination products in each reaction and give the IUPAC name of each. ch Label two 15-mL glass centrifuge tubes equipped with tight-fitting t caps. Reaction tubes closed with rubber septa may be used in place of glass centrifuge tubes. Place 1.0 mL of the first compound to be tested in

Explanation / Answer

NaOCl + 2 HCl --------> H2O + Cl2(g) + NaCl

Cl2 + light -------> 2 Cl' (radicals)

In this experiment, you ad NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) and HCl to genrate Chlorine gas. This gas is dissolvein organic layer by shaking. And then the reaction mixture is irradiated to light. As soon as Cl2 comes in contact with light it starts getting homoletically cleaved to produce chlorine radicals. These radicals react with given alkane to give chlorination product.
