Experiment VIII was performed to analyze SN2 and SN1 using tertiary and primary substrates and use gas chromatography (GC) to examine the SN1 reaction. The product of the SN2 reaction was classified as n-butyl iodide by using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography mass spectroscopy and the product of the SN1 reaction was identified as of t-butyl chloride by using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography. For the SN2 reaction, 7.62 grams of n-butyl bromide, 20.0 grams of sodium iodide, and 79.1 grams of acetone were used to produce 3.12 grams of n-butyl iodide. The limited reagent was identified as n-butyl bromide and the theoretical yield of n-butyl iodide was calculated as 10.3 grams. The percent yield of this reaction was calculated
