KI-starch paper allows the detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite. It is used here to control diazotization of 4-nitroaniline. Nitrite oxidizes potassium iodide in order to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex. With KI-starch paper, enough sodium nitrite is added to produce nitrous acid, which <span>then will react with 4-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt.</span>

Explanation:

Given -

An organic compound gives H₂ gas with Na
On treatment with alkaline iodine it gives yellow ppt.
On oxidation with CrO₃/H⁺ forms an aldehyde (C₂H₄O)

To Find -

Name the compound and write the reaction involved

Now,

Let A be the organic compound.

Then,

A + Na → + H₂↑
A + I₂ → CHI₃ (yellow ppt.)
A + CrO₃ + H⁺ → C₂H₄O

Now,

Here we see that compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives aldehyde.

Functional group of aldehyde = —CHO

And It forms only 2 Carbon aldehyde it means, It is Ethanal (CH₃CHO).

Compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives ethanal.

It means,

We know that 1° alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde.

Here it gives 2 Carbon aldehyde.

It means,

Here 2 Carbon and 1° alcohol is used.

Now,

Its cleared that Compound A is Ethanol.

Reaction Involved -

CH₃CH₂OH + Na → CH₃CH₂O⁻Na⁺ + H₂↑
CH₃CH₂OH + I₂ + OH⁻ → CHI₃↓ + HCOO⁻ + HI + H₂O
CH₃CH₂OH + CrO₃ + H⁺ → CH₃CHO

A swimming-pool worker wants the pool's pH to be 7.2. She comes by to test the water and finds that the pH is 6.2. What should s

vichka [17]

The swimming pools pH is below 7, meaning it is slightly acidic. If you want to make the pH higher, you must add a base which by definition has a pH higher than 7.
