Acid-base chemistry Ethanol's hydroxyl group causes the molecule to be slightly basic. It is almost neutral like water. The pH of 100% ethanol is 7.33, compared to 7.00 for pure water. Ethanol can be quantitatively converted to its conjugate base, the ethoxide ion (CH3CH2O−), by reacti...
Once the zeolite and 𝐻𝐶𝑙HCl were mixed, it was necessary to decant the solution to remove the acid. To develop this task, a syringe was used to extract a small portion and obtain samples to visualize if there was acid in the zeolite (two drops of 𝐴𝑔𝑁𝑂3+𝐶𝑙AgNO3...
