Nitric acid

Description Nitric acid is commonly used in the chemistry laboratory. However, it has various uses in other industries as well such as in fertilizer production, and in the explosives industry. In this lesson, we will discuss nitric acid and its different uses. !!!Structure and Formula of Nitric Acid Nitric acid is a substance that we encounter more often than we think. If you ever bought a bag of fertilizer, and whenever it rains, then this means that you have encountered nitric acid. This is because

Produce Benzilic Acid Abstract The objective of the lab was to produce benzilic acid from benzoin. Benzoin was successfully oxidized with nitric acid to form benzil. The percent yield of benzil was 59.26% and the melting point range was 94.1-95.5°C. The literature melting point of pure benzil is 95°C, which indicates the correct product was obtained. Benzil was then rearranged using potassium hydroxide to form benzilic acid. The percent yield of benzilic acid was 57.94% and

giving it the identity of solid silver chloride. To confirm the presence of the silver cation, a few drops of aqueous 15.0 molar ammonia were added, creating a blue solution that must have been the complex ion Ag(NH3)2+. Then, aqueous 6.0 molar nitric acid was added, producing a white precipitate, silver chloride. This confirmed that the silver cation was present. To the solution that was set aside earlier, five drops of aqueous 1.0 molar sodium sulfate was added, producing a white precipitate from

The Separation and Identification of a Series of Cations Ethan Northcutt BB2 November 2nd, 2016 Abstract Ten cations were reacted with eleven anions and the results of the reactions were recorded; the reactions were performed so that the results could be used in the qualitative analysis of an unknown mixture containing a combination of the same ten cations. There are some distinct differences between the reactions that occurred and the reactions that were predicted to occur. The discrepancies

2. Material and Methods: 2.1. Experimental organism: Hydropsyche siltalai and H. pellucidula were collected from Trout’s Mill Factory in Cornwall in southwest England and Fetcham in Surrey in southeast England by kick net sampling. Live individual caddis larvae were picked up and kept in local medium (water, grass and rocks) in polythene bags and transferred back to the laboratory in cool boxes. Once in the laboratory, they were reared in a 50 L tank river system with moderately hard synthetic water

INTRODUCTION 1. HISTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION ON ADIPIC ACID 1. History on The Production Adipic acid is an important organic chemical raw material. In China, it is used as raw material in the production of Nylon 6/6 salt, polyurethane, plasticizers, high-grade lubricants and food additives. With the rapid growth of development, the application of adipic acid keeps expanding. The production of adipic acid is controlled in the hands of multinationals. An American chemical

2.2.2: Removal of fluoride by Nitric acid activated carbons: Batch experiments were designed to investigate the efficiency of fluoride removal with varying conditions of extraction. 100 ml of ground water from one of the samples was pipette out into a 250ml conical flask and to it, weighed quantity of the prepared active carbon adsorbent was added, pH (=7) was adjusted and the solution was stirred for desired period at 200 rpm on a mechanical shaker at room temperature 30±10C. Then the solution

Chloride Equation: Ag+ (aq) + Cl- AgCl (s) Sliver Nitrate- Adding dilute nitric acid. (Sliver nitrate + dilute nitric acid.) Nitric acid reacts. Removes the ions that might also give a unclear precipitate with silver nitrate. White precipitate is formed. Bromide Equation: Ag+ (aq) + Br- AgBr (s) Silver nitrate- Adding dilute nitric acid. (Silver nitrate + dilute nitric acid.) The nitric acid reacts. Removes ions that may give an unclear precipitate with sliver nitrate. Pale cream precipitate

In this experiment, nitric acid and sulfuric acid were mixed to form nitronium ions, hydronium ions, and hydrogen sulfate ions. The amide on the acetanilide is an electron donating group, an activator, which means that when an activated electrophile is added to the acetanilide, it will add in the ortho, para positions. In this case, the activated electrophile is the nitronium ions, which react with the acetanilide and form an arenium ion. Then, the hydrogen sulfate ions pull off the hydrogen that

The purpose of this lab was to successfully nitrate methyl benzoate to synthesize pure Methyl 3-Nitrobenzoate. Nitrating a compound will lead to the addition of a nitro group (NO2). The location in which the nitro group is added is dependent on the group already on the aromatic ring. If the present group is an activating group, the NO2 will add on either ortho or para. If the present group is a deactivating group, the NO2 will add on meta. In this experiment, the group that was already on the ring
