In the procedure for the synthesis of 1-bromobutane some water was added to the initial reaction mixture. Discuss how might the yield of bromobutane be affected if the water were not added and explain what products would be favored. Determine how might the yield of the product be affected by adding twice as much water as is called for while keeping the quantities of the other reagents the same? 10-ml of water was added to the mixture of 7.5g of1-butanol and 10.3g sodium bromide.
