Why did we use solid camphorsulfonic acid rather than aqueous h2so4?

Chemistry

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Most common mineral acids solutions (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, H3PO4, etc.) are prepared in water. Infact, system is<span> acidic only in aqueous medium.
</span>
However, in few cases, it isn't advisable/viable to perform reaction is aqueous medium. This can be due to poor solubility of reactant in water. This situation arises especially, if reactant is highly non-polar in nature.

There also exist a possibility that, reactant is not stable in aqueous medium. In such event, use of water has to be avoided.    

 For such reaction,  solid camphorsulfonic acid is added in reaction, when acid is required to initiate/catalyst the reaction.

The major advantage that camphorsulfonic acid offers is that, it is solid and hence it is easy to weight. Also, they don't required water addition for the reaction.

If an element has 2+ valence electrons, does it transfer only one or more than one valence electrons​
just olya [345]

Answer:

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Explanation:

  • Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
  • Its Electropositivity is  high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
  • Element  of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.

Examples:

Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having  2+ valance electron

one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons

MgCl₂

Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12

Electronic Configuration of Mg:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 2

So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.

Similarly

Chlorine atomic number is 17

Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 7

So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.

So,

Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom

So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond

where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.

                 Cl-----Mg------Cl

So the Answer is

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.
