Question 1.
What is the product of ammonolysis of an alkyl halide?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what is produced when ammonia reacts with an alkyl halide.
Question 2.
Why is excess ammonia used in this reaction?
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
Excess ammonia in the ammonolysis reaction is used to:
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
What happens if we don't use enough ammonia?
Question 5.
Propose a mechanism for the ammonolysis of butyl bromide (C4H9Br) with ammonia. Indicate all intermediates in your proposed mechanism.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how ammonia approaches the alkyl halide.
Question 6.
Using the ammonolysis reaction, calculate the theoretical yield of ethylamine from 50g of bromoethane. Given the molecular weights, determine the grams of ethylamine produced.
