Mechanisms and Rates of Reaction	4a	Light Initiated Bromination of Pentane	Bromine is added to 2 test tubes containing pentane. One tube is masked, and the other irradiated with light. The tube exposed to light looses bromine color and pH paper shows evolution of an acidic gas.
			Structure of 3 monobrominated isomeric products are shown.
			Mechanism of free radical bromination.
	4b	Bromination of Hexane Isomers	Relative rates of reaction of 2 hexane isomers with bromine in light
	4b	Bromination of Hexane Isomers	Mechanism of free radical bromination
	4c	Bromination of Alkyl Benzenes	Bromine is added to benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and isopropyl benzene. Order of reactivity parallels the stability of the free radical intermediates.
	4c	Bromination of Alkyl Benzenes	Correlate with 8c -Reaction of Bromine with Benzene, Phenol, and Toluene
	6c	Addition of Iodine to alpha -Pinene - Relief of Ring Strain	reaction of alpha -pinene (from turpentine) with iodine results in a highly exothermic reaction accompanied by a large purple cloud from sublimation of excess iodine
	6c		formerly used to treat infected horses' hooves
	8b	Reaction of Bromine with Cyclohexane, Cyclohexene, and Benzene	Bromine reacts with the double bond of cyclohexene but not with alkanes or aromatic hydrocarbons.
	8b		Addition reaction
	8c	Reaction of Bromine with Benzene, Phenol, and Toluene	Bromine reacts with phenol to produce bromophenol isomers and HBr. Benzene and Toluene do not react with bromine in the absence of a catalyst.
