Nucleophilic Substitutions
The following reaction was set-up as follows:
R-OH + HBr --> R-Br
Where R-OH could be one of the following possible compounds 1-4

5.0 mL of the unknown alcohol was added to 15 mL of HBr (48% HBr in water) in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The reaction was covered and stirred at room temperature for
60 min. After that time, two layers could be seen in the flask. One was clear and the other was a pale yellow.
The following table has the physical properties for each of the possible alcohols and HBr. All of the alcohols are immiscible with water.
