(a)
Interpretation: The mechanistic basis for silver nitrate test that may help to distinguish between primary and secondary alkyl bromides should be determined.
Concept introduction:Silver Nitrate performed in the presence of ethanol can help in identification of various kinds of
When silver nitrate is added to a reaction mixture of particular alkyl halide it forms a precipitate of silver halide. This precipitation may occur within 2 minutes or after some delay. The rate is different for each of the alkyl bromide. The precipitation occurs immediately in case of tertiarythan in secondary alkyl halide or primary alkyl halide.
(b)
Interpretation: The mechanistic basis for sodium iodide in acetonetest that may help to distinguish between primary and secondary alkyl bromides has to be determined.
Concept introduction:Sodium iodide inperformed in the presence of acetonecan also help in identification of various kinds of alkyl halides.
When sodium iodide is added to a reaction mixture of particular alkyl halide it forms a precipitate of silver halide long with substituted product. This precipitation may occur within 2 minutes or after some delay. The rate is different for each of the alkyl bromide. The precipitation occurs immediately in case of tertiary than in secondary alkyl halide or primary alkyl halide.
