Write the chemical formula for diarsenic trioxide
Hydrogen peroxide is not only an antiseptic but also an oxidizing agent. The following equation shows the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with acetaldehyde to give acetic acid:
C2H4O(l) + H2O2(l) → C2H4O2(l) + H2O(l)
In this reaction, which species is oxidized and which species is reduced? Which species is the oxidizing agent and which species is the reducing agent?
Why are the carboxylic acid groups of the amino acids so much more acidic (pK a ~ 2) thana carboxylic acid such as acetic acid (pKa = 4.76)?
