Sulfuric acid

Abstract: The Grignard reaction was successfully accomplished. An amount of 1.20 ml of 2-methyl-2-pentanol was collected, and 9.60% yield was calculated based on the theoretical yield. Despite the low amount of 2-methyl-2-pentanol, its identity was confirmed by comparing the experimental refractive index and infrared spectrum to the literature refractive index and infrared spectrum of 2-methyl-2-pentanol. Statement and purpose The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a specific alcohol…

In this experiment I will prepare a pure sample of an element (copper) by making a copper solution and then plating it out onto a more active metal. HYPOTHESIS: Because Copper is a more active metal than Iron, I believe the copper solution will plate onto the iron nail. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to observe reactions between metals depending on which one is more active and observe how to clean pennies, while making a copper solution. RAW MATERIALS: Two plastic cups Clover…

Introduction: Many chemical compounds are broken down into two very distinct categories: acidic or basic. Acidic, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) donor. An equation exemplifying an acid dissolving in water is: HCl (g) H2O H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) A base, based on the Bronsted-Lowry Theory, is defined as a proton (H+) acceptor. An equation exemplifying a base dissolving in water: NaOH (s) H2O Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) Molarity, also known as the concentration…

rate is magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Initially, it was hypothesized that the reaction with hydrochloric acid would have the fastest reaction rate due to its high acidity observed from the pH scale. From there, the following reactions were based on the pH of the acid involved as well as the concentration of hydrogen ions/atoms within the acid molecule. As a result, it was hypothesized that the sulfuric acid reaction would be the second fastest and the acetic acid reaction would be the…

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF SULPHURIC ACID PRODUCTION 1. Safety Aspects 1. Basic Safety Aspects due to Physical properties and behaviour of Sulfuric acid. Basically, we know attention is paramount when adding water to a highly concentrated acid and this is the case with sulphuric acid which is highly risky. Sulfuric acid can have serious adverse effects like burns if it contacts the skin. This is due to the dehydrating properties of the acid on organic materials. Also, when the acid is heated…

prevailing winds and can travel long distances to other regions or locations where they can also cause great damage. The pollutants react with water (H2O), oxygen (O2), other gases and sunlight to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), ammonium nitrate, and nitric acid (HNO3) (Dubey, 2013; ESA,…

Process To Make Copper Coated / Plated Nails 1) Measure out 1/4 cup white vinegar and put into the glass bowl. 2) Add 1 teaspoon salt. Stir salt until it dissolves in the vinegar. 3) Take a penny and submerge it into the vinegar solution 1/2 way for 10 seconds. 4) Remove penny. What do you notice? What do you think happened? 5) Put all the pennies into the bowl and let them sit in the white vinegar solution for 5-10 minutes (take notice of how the pennies look before putting them in). 6) Take…

A: Background Information Acids and bases are very common in today’s society, and they can be found in most households. Acids can be found as by-products of air pollution, concrete cleaner, food flavouring and is produced by the muscle. Bases are found in most cleaning products as ammonia or sodium hydroxide, and they also treat indigestion. There are many ways that acids and bases can be defined by their chemical properties. The Bronsted-Lowry definition states that acids are proton (hydrogen…

it therefore suggests that it is highly reactive and use of water and any other chemicals that can lead to an undesired chemical reaction will be ruled out. Also, the spilled chemical is producing fumes, mostly it suggests that it is either a strong acid or an alkali in addition to its corrosive nature. Use of carbon dioxide to manage the fumes/vapors will also be ruled out as the carbon dioxide is likely to react with the chemical to form dangerous substance. Therefore, the choice left is a…
