  2. Bromoethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromoethane

    Bromoethane, also known as ethyl bromide, is a chemical compound of the haloalkanes group. It is abbreviated by chemists as EtBr (which is also used as an abbreviation for ethidium bromide ). This volatile compound has an ether-like odor.

  3. Electrochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination

    That is, energy is added to sodium chloride (table salt) in water, producing sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen gas. Because the reaction takes place in an unpartitioned cell and NaOH is present in the same solution as the Cl 2: 2 NaCl + 2 H 2 O → 2 NaOH + H 2 + Cl 2. any Cl 2 disproportionates to hypochlorite and chloride Cl 2 + 2 NaOH → ...

  4. Reductive dechlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_dechlorination

    The cathode transfers electrons to the molecule, which decomposes to produce the corresponding hydrocarbon (hydrogen atoms substitute the original chlorine atoms) and free chloride ions. For instance, the reductive dechlorination of CFCs is complete and produces several hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) plus chloride.

  5. Salt metathesis reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_metathesis_reaction

    Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents. Illustrative is the conversion of sodium perrhenate to the tetrabutylammonium salt: [2] NaReO 4 + N(C 4 H 9) 4 Cl → N(C 4 H 9) 4 [ReO 4] + NaCl. The tetrabutylammonium salt precipitates from the aqueous solution. It is soluble in dichloromethane.

  6. Finkelstein reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finkelstein_reaction

    The classic Finkelstein reaction entails the conversion of an alkyl chloride or an alkyl bromide to an alkyl iodide by treatment with a solution of sodium iodide in acetone. Sodium iodide is soluble in acetone while sodium chloride and sodium bromide are not; [ 3 ] therefore, the reaction is driven toward products by mass action due to the ...

  8. Bromoform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromoform

    Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.

  9. Salt water chlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_chlorination

    Salt water chlorination is a process that uses dissolved salt (1000–4000 ppm or 1–4 g/L) for the chlorination of swimming pools and hot tubs.The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator, or SWG) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt to produce chlorine gas or its dissolved forms, hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite, which are already ...
