Sulfuric acid

right and [HI] will decrease. 4. 20 grams of magnesium were placed in a conical flask. Which one of the following solutions, if added, would produce 100 mL of hydrogen gas the fastest? A. 100 mL of 4 M sulfuric acid B. 200 mL of 2 M sulfuric acid C. 400 mL of 1 M sulfuric acid D. 50 mL of 8 M sulfuric acid 5. Why does the rate of reaction increase when powdered calcium carbonate is used instead of marble chips? A. The powdered calcium carbonate acts as a catalyst. B. There is an increase of the…

Acid rain is a precipitation which falls from the atmosphere to Earth. It contains a high level of nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide. When they ge tin contact with water they transform to acid in the atmosphere, and then this acid is carried away by the wind thousaands of miles away from where they were created. The acidity is measured with the potential hydrogen (pH) on a scale from 0-14. The pH scale is a logarythmic measure which means that every change in pH is counted in the amount times…

Two chromatographic methods were developed for the assay of the FDA approved lozenges containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXT) and menthol (MNT). The first was a green HPTLC method which depends on using Merck HPTLC aluminum sheets of silica gel 60 F254 and methanol-ammonia (10:0.1, v/v) as mobile phase. This was followed by densitometric measurements of the spots which were retained at 0.28 ± 0.01 for DXT and 0.76 ± 0.02 for MNT scanned at 210 nm. The method was found linear over the…

in the residues from the manufacture of sea salt at Montpellier. He liberated the element by passing chlorine through an aqueous solution of the residues, that contained magnesium bromide. Distillation of the material with manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid produced red vapours, which condensed to a dark liquid. The similarity of this procedure to that for making chlorine suggested to Balard that he had obtained a new element similar to chlorine. German chemist Justus von Liebig supposedly had…

Acids and Bases are solutions, and can be found everywhere in the world. They can be found in food, drinks, around the house, and in the environment around you. Acids and Bases are used by people, animals, and even plants for many different purposes (Buthelezi et al. 634). A solution is a homogenous mixture, which is a mixture with a composition that is consistent throughout the substance (Buthelezi et al. 634). Solutions are comprised of the solute and a solvent. The solvent is the most…

The “Acid Bath Murderer” case was about a man named John George Haigh. It was said that he killed his boss and dumped him into a forty-gallon barrel of acid (Casale,2017). Like most known killers, Haigh blended well into society. Born into a strictly religious family on July 24, 1909, Haigh claimed his childhood to be strict and somewhat lonely. During his youth, Haigh had an accident which resulted in having a blue bruise on his head. His mother told him that this blemish was a result of his…

The dehydration of Cyclohexanol requires going through an acid-catalyzed elimination of water for the synthesis of cyclohexane from cyclohexanol. To get cyclohexane from cyclohexanol you must remove the cycloalkane with fractional distillation, drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and analyzed by GC data and the bromine test. The reaction we are trying to accomplish going from cyclohexanol to cyclohexene is a secondary alcohol going through an E1 reaction. This is the unimolecular…

add 12 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, H2SO4 with caution, and shake the tube gently to moisten the sample with the appropriate acid. Connect the Exhaust system with the tubes which has been placed on the rack and ensure the aspirator system to start functioning. The rack and Exhaust system are locked to heaters block digester DS6 which has been preheated to 420 ̊C to begin the process of acid digestion. After about 5 minutes, turn off the aspirator system until acid fumes can be formed only in…

3-(benzylideneamino)-2-phenylquinazolin-4-(3H)-one 5 (a-j) A mixture of 3-amino-2-phenyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one as well as its substituted analogs (3-4) and the appropriate aromatic aldehydes dissolved in ethanol (50 mL) containing few drops of glacial acetic acid were heated under reflux for 7-8 hr. The solution was cooled and the precipitated solid was obtain, filtered, and washed with water, dried in vacuum and recrystallized from ethanol 2, 3.…

concentrated sulfuric acid in the first step? The purpose of using concentrated sulfuric acid is to activate the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride and produce the acetylsalicylic acid, which is aspirin. The sulfuric acid is used to protonate oxygen atom of a carbonyl group of salicylic acid. 2. What would happen if the sulfuric acid were left out? Removal of catalytic acid from the reaction would slow down or not proceed at all because the phenol group on salicylic acid is not…
