  • Synthesis of 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol? Pt. 1?

    When 1-butanol, concentrated sufuric acid, sodium bromide, and water are mixed in this reaction, 1-bromobutane forms via an SN2 reaction. Under these reaction conditions a by product, dibutyl either (C4H9OC4H9, FW 130.23, MP -98 degrees C, BP 142-143 degrees C) is formed in the reaction.

  • What should I get my girlfriend for Christmas?

    My girlfriend and I have been dating for 3.5 years now and this year I haven't seen her a whole lot since I just started college 500 miles away from her. I usually go all out and spend a bunch of money on her, but now I have no job, and can't spend as much as I normally do, and I want to get her something that is so special that it doesn't matter if its a little bit cheaper. The problem is for the past year we've always got eachother very lavish stuff, right before I left her for college I got her a $400 ring (promise-purpose, type thing) so please help me out with some ideas. I LOVE THIS GIRL

    thank you :)

  • Christmas gifts for my loved ones!?

    Okay so this is my freshman year in college (aka no job for 3+ months now) and I need gifts for my family and girlfriend without breaking my bank.

    1. My dad is 48 I always have trouble trying to find him something every year because I never know what to get him. His main hobby is running, he runs like 6 miles a day but he has about 50 pairs of shoes. A bunch of running shirts, etc. So I am really lost on what to get him. He never makes any mention of anything he wants, please help.

    2. My mother is the same age and every year just by shopping around the department stores I find something, but this year I won't really have a lot of time to do that. Last year I got her a griddle, the year before that I got her a scanner, so its kinda easy to please her but I need something not so expensive.

    3. My grandparents, I usually get them a joint gift, but I can get them something separate if its a good idea. My grandpa is sick a lot now and they can't go out much so sometimes i get them movies
