Sodium hydroxide

As it can be seen the concentration of the phenol compounds decreased as the hydrogen peroxide increases. The presence of the anions decreases the rates of the phenolic compounds, the sulfates influence in a smaller degree. For phenol and 2-nitrophenol the difference in slope or degradation rates for chloride and sulfate are 0.71 and 0.55, and only 0.16 for 2-chlorophenol. The presence of chloride inhibits in greater proportion the formation of hydroxyl radicals than the sulfate , this can be…

There are so many chemical reactions and it is important to classify a chemical reaction to understand the reaction and predict the products. In this lesson, we will discuss the definition and go over examples of a combination reaction. !!!What is a Combination Reaction? Putting furniture together, combining ingredients to make something delicious – these things can be fun activities and we look forward to the results. Each individual component is not very exciting by itself. However, if we…

the solution was stirred, the cap was placed on the reaction vessel, which was put into the microwave for heating. Next, 40mL of 3M sodium hydroxide was chilled in an ice bath, and then the extraction apparatus was constructed. Once the microwave was done, the vessel was rinsed with 5mL of water, which was poured into the separatory funnel. Then cold sodium hydroxide was then added portion wise to the separatory funnel and the funnel was swirled. Next, 10mL of dichloromethane was added to the…

The following sets of substances could have been assigned: Set 1 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 3 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 4 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Ammonia (NH3), Water (H2O). From the substances above Hydrochloric acid (HCl)…

Introduction Unknown substances can be found everywhere. Whether it is the mysterious crust on the desk, or the sticky material found at the bottom of an unwashed bowl, there is a curiosity as to what that substance could be. In science, the unknown substance is called the analyte (1). The unknown substance, taken from the Gulf of Mexico, is tested to determine the true identity of the substance. In order to find the analyte, there are two different scientific methods that can be applied. The…

donates a hydroxide anion which collectively form a product containing salt and water. The dissociation of the acid and base allows for the formation of the salt and water. Similarly, antacids are formulated to neutralize the hydrochloric acid present in the human…

STAGE 2 Chemistry Assessment Type 1: investigation Folio Student Response: Issues Investigation INTRODUCTION Chlorine is considered to be the single largest contributor to safe drinking water in the history of public health. In 1902 the first chlorine disinfection system was installed in Belgium. By the 1920’s nearly the whole world started using the process. Due to this disinfection process many disease-causing microorganisms were abolished. According to Life Magazine (1997) “The…

compound with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) produced no visible reaction (precipitate), although the pH of the resulting solution was very acidic. Combining the unknown compound with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong base, also had no visible reaction. However, the resulting solution was a lot more basic. Reacting the unknown compound with sodium nitrate (NaNO3), a salt, did not have a visible reaction nor did the pH of the resulting solution change. The last reaction involved the unknown compound and…

Checking your car's battery is an extremely important part of car maintenance. If you keep your battery clean and running in tip top shape, it will last much longer. When checking your battery, you should look for problems like corrosion, dirt, cracks, and broken cables. It's important to be cautious when working on your car's battery. You should always make sure the engine is off and you are removing the battery and its cables correctly so that you don't cause harm to yourself or the battery.…

of this investigation is to investigate how changing the temperature of sodium thiosulphate affects the rate of reaction in a chemical reaction. In order to complete this practical the temperature will be changed three times and the rate of reaction will be measured each time. Variables: Independent: -the temperature of the sodium thiosulphate. Dependent: -the rate of reaction. Controlled: - concentration of the sodium thiosulphate. - concentration of the hydrochloric acid.…
