    This laboratory report summarizes an experiment to prepare 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol. Sodium bromide and concentrated sulfuric acid were used to brominate the butanol. The reaction was refluxed, producing an upper organic layer containing the desired 1-bromobutane product. Water was then used to extract the organic layer. Percent yield of the product was calculated based on the actual and theoretical amounts. The reaction mechanism involving bromination of the alcohol was also outlined.

    Experimant 3: Preparation of 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol

    Read and understand the procedure in the lab manual and watch the given video by following
    the given link:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eaWqvZZcig
    This video demonstrates the preparation of 1-bromopropane. Students can also view
    other related videos to understand this procedure.

    Objective
    i. To find the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane.

    Chemicals and Apparatus


    i. List all the chemicals used
    Sodium bromide,NaBr
    n-butyl alcohol (1-butanol)
    Concentrated sulfuric acid,H2SO4
    9 M H2SO

    i. Draw the reaction apparatus setup for the reaction

    Results and Discussion


    i. State the function of sulphuric acid in the experiment?
    ii. What will happen if the sulfuric acid is added rapidly and the temperature of the
    solution is high?
    iii. Explain why the upper layer, after refluxed contained the product 1-bromobutane and
    the
    layer switched at the point where water is used to extract the organic layer.
    iv. How to identify that the layer is organic?
    v. Calculate the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane if the actual yield obtained is 6.8992
    g.
    (refer to the manual for the amount reagents used).
    vi. In the video, 11 mL of propanol was used. How much (in mL) of butanol would be
    needed to prepare 1-bromobutane if all the other reagents are remained the same.
    vii. Show the step-by-step of reactions mechanism on the formation of 1-bromobutane from
    1-butanol.

    Conclusion
    Write a conclusion for this experiment based on the given and calculated results

    References
    i.
    ii.
