The oxygenation of p-xylene with dioxygen in the presence of a soluble cobalt (II) salt in an acetic acid solvent is the predominate commercial method to produce terephthalic acid. The addition of bromide effec
However, if one reacts bromine in water with a double bond, a vicinal halohydrin is formed. Provide an explanation for tWhat kind of reaction occurs when bromine and cyclohexane are mixed?Consider the reaction of 2-methyl-2-hexene with Br_2. What is the product of this reac...
After the American company Dow Chemical started exporting competitively priced bromine to Europe, the Germans retaliated by exporting bromine to the U.S. for sale at below their manufacturing cost. Dow responded by simply buying the bromine stateside at the dumped price and reselling it profitably ...
Is germanium a conductor or a semiconductor? Explain. Will liquid bromine (Br2) possess electrical conductivity? Explain. Why are nonmetals good oxidizing agents? Briefly explain how the conduction of electricity takes place in iron metal. Explain how the doping of polyace...
One species of a rare, ancient barnacle has extraordinarilyhigh levels of a toxic chemical in its body, scientists have discovered. Up to 7% of certain parts of the barnacle's body is bromine, with the chemical concentrated into the animal's most vulnerable parts. ...
Bromine Brominated compounds have alsobeen foundto leach into PET bottles. Bromine displaces iodine in the body, and is a central nervous system depressant. It can accumulate over time, and trigger health problems. Microplastics Microplastic contamination is also common in bottled water.Microplasticsare...
Pesticides and herbicides,164especially those containing organic chemicals bonded to chlorine or bromine, are found in agricultural settings, where they make their way into the food chain. Sadly, even after the highly toxic dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) was banned, risks still abound, both bec...
Selective detection of unknown organic bromine compounds and quantification potentiality by negative-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with induced in-source fragmentation. Int. J. Environ. Anal. Chem. 2007, 87, 415–424. [CrossRef] 42. Rafehi, H.; Orlowski, C.; Georgiadis, G.T.;...
Halogens (iodine, bromine, fluorine, chlorine) Anti-seizure drugs(carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) Tuberculosis drugs(ethionamide, isoniazid, rifampicin) Antidepressants (lithium, amoxapine) Immunosuppressants (ciclosporin, azathioprine) High doses of vitamins B6 andB12 ...
If you have a private well then this may or may not be what you are using to disinfect your water supply, and you do have some choice in the matter. Some methods are ultra-violet, distillation, reverse osmosis, and chemical feeds (bromine, chlorine, chloramines, iodine, ozone, and etc....
