Is the reaction of isoamyl alcohol with a mixture of sodium bromide and sulfuric acid to create isoamyl bromide a 1:1 mol ratio?
Sodium bromide reacts with sulfuric acid to form HBr. HBr reacts with amyl alcohol to form amyl bromide. The balanced equation is as follows:
Thus, 2 equivalents of sodium bromide reacts with one equivalent of sulfuric acid to form 2 equivalent of HBr or one equivalent of sodium bromide reacts with 0.5 eq. of sulfuric acid to form one eq. of HBr. One eq. of HBr reacts with one eq. of amyl alcohol to form amyl bromide
Thus, ratio of amyl alcohol to sodium bromide to sulfuric acid is 1 : 1 : 0.5
