The answer to your question lies in the fact that HCN is a weak acid so that an equilibrium is established as follows: HCN --- CN- + H+ Being a reversible reaction that can attain equilibrium, addition of a base will cause removal of H+ (or reaction between H+ a...
- Benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is a polar compound due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH). - Naphthalene (C10H8) is a non-polar compound as it consists of two fused benzene rings. 2. Dissolve the Mixture in Hot Water: - Take the mixture of benzoic acid and ...
Suppose you have a mixture of the following solids: iodine (I2), benzophenone (H5C6-C(=O)-C6H5), benzoic acid (C6H5-C(=O)-OH), and oxalic acid (HOOC-COOH). You dissolve a small quantity of the solid mixture in ethanol and spot the solution on a...
showed that when the molar ratio of EDTA-2Na to Fe2+ was 1:1, the degradation effect of benzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene was the best [66]. When the concentration of EDTA-2Na is further increased and exceeds the requirement for complexa- tion, it will consume •OH by itself to reduce...
