Hydrolosis: Haloalkanes react with hydroxide ions to from alcohols and a halogen salt

Edited by Smiley73

Alcohols can react with Hydrogen halides to form halogens

 

alcohols --> haloalkanes

 

this is called halogenation

 

the opposite of hydrolysis

primary and secondary need concentrated H2SO4 and are treated with a sodium salt

 

The sodium then goes on the HSO4, the OH that comes off the alcohol bonds with an H from the sulphuric acid and the X goes from the Sodium salt to the organic molecule

Cracking takes long alkane chains and breaks them into smaller alkanes and alkenes (esp. ethene) - this needs heat and/or catalyst
