Question

1-hexene and HBr Separation Discussion: Must be written in a concise, well-organized paragraph to address all parts of your separation, and should explain each step on the separation schemes; the discussion must be done with the required number of sentences or less for each section and must be written in the provided space only. Keep in mind the main purpose of a separation discussion is to clearly state how one compound is separated from the others chemically and physically without going into detailed, descriptive procedure (examples of a redundant detailed procedure that shouldn't be included: the amount of eagentis) used, the type of glassware, the technical part of separation like draining a solution, pipetting, spotting, mixing samples, venting glassware, etc.). 1-hexene and HBr In eight sentences or less write a product Refer to the introduction section to come up with a well- organized paragraph. separation discussion for the 1-hexene and HBr reaction. 152

Explanation / Answer

Reaction of 1-hexene and HBr

Product separation : The reaction mixture was poured in separatory funnel and washed with water. The aqueous layer is discarded. The organic layer is then washed with 10% NaHCO3 (aq) solution to remove excess HBr. Discard the aqueous layer. Add water, shake and separate aqueous layer. the organic layer is then transferred to a flask to which Na2SO4 is added. Shake and let it stand. Filter the solution and removal of solvent gives the product of the reaction.
