Choose all that apply. In Experiment 4, we use a mixture of 50% water and 50% isopropyl alcohol as the solvent. Why do we use this mixture rather than using pure water as the solvent? The isopropyl alcohol is needed to act as a catalyst for the reaction to occur. There would be too much of a reactant that it would distort the reaction rate. t-butyl chloride is has low solubility in pure water. The hydrolysis reaction would occur too quickly in pure water to have good measurements for analysis. The isopropyl alcohol is necessary for the reaction to occur.

Briefly explain why it is necessary to recrystallize during a synthesis.
I need help with a review question for organic chemistry. By definition, the relative rate of methyl group hydrogens is the same, suggest why this might be helpful.
What change can be made to allow for a faster rate of reaction if poor solubility of KOH in ethanol slowed the rate and led to slow deprotonation of dibenzyl ketone?
A student left some alkyl halides (RC1 and RBr) in an open container for several minutes. What happened to the composition of the halide mixture during that time? Assume that some liquid remains in the container.

Please help me with this question, it's urgent The reaction shown below does not follow the expected theory. Given what you learned about substitution/elimination, what is the expected mechanism this reaction should follow? Suggest why that is not what happens and give the actual product of the reaction.
Reaction with Bromine Add a few drops of bromine to another test tube of acetylene collected from procedure 1. Do this very quickly to avoid the escape of gas Replace the cork immediately Allow to stand for a few minutes until the bromine has vaporized. Observe the color of bromine. Test the gases in the test tube with a piece of blue litmus paper moistened with distilled water held with tweezers. What are your observations? Is there a change in color on the blue litmus paper?
My experiment I had five drops of Na2S2O3 and three drops of hydrochloric acid in each tube. Use the table for information to answer the questions below. Additional information if needed: hydrochloric acid = 0.1M and the sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) = 0.1M.
You are given the following reactions to complete in lab. However, you recognize an issue with the reaction. 1. Determine why the reactions will not work or why the reactions will give a poor yield? 2. How can you resolve the issues and run the reactions to obtain a better yield? Fix the reactions by redrawing each reaction with the solution (corrected starting materials/reagents/products/etc.).
At the start of lab, Anthony adds vanillin to his Erlenmeyer flask, then adds sodium hydroxide, and lets the suspension cool. i. With minimal words, identify the reaction that takes place between sodium hydroxide and vanillin. ii. Is sodium borohydride capable of inducing the same reaction as (i)? Explain.
In the determining the rate law for the crystal violet hydroxide ion reaction experiment, would you have determined an identical rate law for this reaction if you had used [OH-] of 0.030M and 0.040M instead of the concentrations you actually used in the procedure (0.020M and 0.010M)? Briefly explain.
