In the presence of concentrated H2SO4, ethanoic acid reacts with alcohol to give off a sweet-smelling ester. This is known as the esterification reaction. Ethanoic acid reacting with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate produces carbon dioxide, water and sodium ethanoate salt. 3. Other Carbon ...
Explain the types of hydrocarbons and their importance. Briefly explain how to make a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. a. Explain why mineral oil, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons, does not dissolve in water. b. Explain why alcohols of up to four carbons do dissolve in water. How...
In the preparation of sulfanilamide, why was aqueous sodium bicarbonate, rather than aqueous hydrocide, used to neutralized the solution in final step? The method that cannot be used for removing permanent hardness of water is A. adding sodium carbonate B....
The reacted mixture was cooled, washed with a 5 per cent aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, and the benzene removed by distillation. The ester product was decolorized with charcoal and, after crystallization from petroleum ether, was obtained as a white crystalline solid having a ...
Briefly explain how to make a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. Cholesterol is an alcohol. Would you expect cholesterol to be very soluble in water? Explain. What makes acetone a good solvent for extracting fats from substances such as milk?
