tert-butyl chloride N/A N/A N/A

Cite the website(s) you obtained your values from.

5. Moles and equivalents calculations.

Calculate the moles and equivalents for tert-butyl alcohol and hydrochloric acid ONLY.

6. Theoretical Yield calculation.

Calculate the theoretical yield of tert-butyl chloride that is expected from the starting amounts given. (Note: You will have to determine the limiting reagent and reaction stoichiometry to do this correctly).

7. Apparatus: Sketch the apparatus that will be used in this experiment. Read the Procedure section of the handout to get more information on what equipment will be used.

8. Procedure: Write a general procedure or flow chart of the experiment in your own words.
