Kinetics Experiment
The following buttons will take you through the Kinetics Experiment. Parts 1 thru 5 are the set up for the experiment. On Run 1 and Run 2 you will need a ruler and measure the layer as it grow on the top of the solution in the tube. The height will need to be collected relative to the time in seconds. You will need to collect this data for both runs. After isolating the product you were able to obtain a refractive index of 1.443 and the IR spectrum shown below. From this information, you will need to determine if the reaction goes by SN1, SN2 , E1 or E2 pathway. A complete mechanism will also need to be outlined. Click here for IR Spectrum.
