Rate of reaction increases exponentially with concentration

Rate equation is experimentally determined. So, you can't directly write $r=k[A][B]$ (where r is rate, k is rate constant). Probably you might have performed first order reaction. For which $r=k[A]=\f …

Why are tertiary alkyl halides obtained in higher yield than secondary or primary during fre...

From my textbook: Halogens ($\ce{Cl_2}$ and $\ce{Br_2}$ ) react with alkanes in the presence of ultraviolet light to form haloalkanes.This reaction is free radical substitution and gives a mixture …

Can we prepare alkyl chloride or alkyl bromide by Finkelstein reaction?

My book says: Finkelstein reaction is particularly useful for preparing iodoalkanes. The iodoalkanes are obtained by heating chloro or bromoalkanes with a concentrated solution of sodium iodide i …

Reasons for dry conditions in substituition reactions with benzene

Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons are immisible with water. So, probably there is no problem with benzene if we there is moisture. In most of the substitution reactions which benzene undergo, …

How does the inductive effect, explain the reactivity of tertiary alcohols with halogen acids?

The reactions of primary and secondary alcohols with halogen acids ($\ce{HX}$, where $\ce{X}$=halogen) require the presence of a catalyst, $\ce{ZnCl_2}$. With tertiary alcohols, the reaction is conduc …
