About this document

Kinetics of Solvolysis Reaction Analysis by Aries is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes an experiment to determine the kinetics and rate law of a solvolysis reaction between t-butyl chloride (TBC) and water. The reaction forms an alcohol and HCl. Students monitor the reaction by titrating aliquots of the reaction mixture with a standardized NaOH solution over time. They then analyze plots of reactant concentration versus time to determine if the reaction is zeroth, first, or second order. If first order, they also calculate the half-life from the rate constant. The goal
