Question

2. T-butyl bromide is converted into t-butyl alcohol in a solvent containing 90% acetone and 10% water. The reaction is: CH33CBr + H2O | CH 3)3 COH + HBr The table below gives the data from a kinetics experiment t(min) A=CH3)3 CBr 0.0961 0.0856 0.0767 0.0645 0.0536 0.0432 0.0270 9 18 24 40 54 72 105 a. Copy the data into excel and plot (a-x), In(a-x), and 1/(a-x) versus t. (on separate charts) b. Add a trendline to each plot. Display the equation and R values (print out on one page and attach to quiz). c. What is the order of the reaction? d. What is the rate constant of the reaction? e. What is the half-life of the reaction? f. What is the initial concentration of the reaction?

Explanation / Answer

a = the initial concentration of t-butyl bromide.

x= amount of t-butyl bromide reacted.

a-x = amount that is unreacted.

a-x is given in table as A=(CH3)3CBr (M)
