Textbook QuestionThe reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carried out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodide that is formed. Why does the solvent increase the yield of alkyl iodide?(Hint: Potassium iodide is soluble in acetone, but potassium chloride is not.)321views

Textbook QuestionStrawberry growers have used large quantities of methyl bromide (b.p. 4 °C) to sterilize the soil before planting their crops. Like some of the freons, methyl bromide can diffuse up into the stratosphere, where it damages the protective ozone layer. Agricultural chemists have suggested using methyl iodide (b.p. 43 °C) as a replacement for methyl bromide. 1. Why is methyl iodide likely to be more toxic to agricultural pests (and people) than methyl bromide? 2. Why is methyl iodide less likely to reach the stratosphere than methyl bromide?482views
