REACTION HELP PLEASE!!!

[milZ1]

Hi,

Could you help me write up the reaction for tert-Butyl alcohol plus HCl, which gives tert-Butyl chloride.

C₄H₁₀O + HCl = C₄H₉Cl plus H₂O i think.. not sure....


Then there's another one, to p-chlorophenol you add NaOH and chloroacetc acid which gives p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid plus something else, maybe its Cl ions.

ClC₆H₄OH + C₂H₃ClO₂ = C₈H₇ClO₃ plus....


Could someone help complete and balance these equations for me please, it would be really appreciated.

Thank you,

Mili...

Hey Umm i dont know about the second one lol but for the first one that is for sure correct, which is

Code: Select all

C4H10O + HCl = C4H9Cl + H2O

and for the second one, isnt it also including NaOH on reactants side..??

Umm If you do include NaOH, it would give you an acetic acid like you suggested and an alchol so overall reaction would be,,

Code: Select all

16 ClC6H4OH + 8 C2H3ClO2 + 11 NaOH = 13 C8H7ClO3 + 11 NaCl + 4 C2H5OH

Hope that helps,

Yep the first one seems correct and the second one I think your right coz we used NaOH, but I didnt think it was needed to be written in the equation, but it makes sense with what you've done. So i'll just keep what you gave, thank you sooo much.

Thank you!
