What is the main reason that it takes 2 to 3 minutes for the reaction to occur between sucrose and sulfuric acid in the dehydrat

 There is a time delay of almost two to three minutes before the reaction proceeds because of the following processes:

<span>1)    </span><span> The acid starts to go yellow as the dehydration begins.</span>

<span>2)    </span><span> The rate of dehydration then accelerates as the acid heats up because the reaction is exothermic/chemical (releases energy by light or heat).  As the sugar molecules are stripped of water, the heat generated turns the water into steam which then expands the remaining carbon into a porous, smoking, black column.</span>

<span>3)    </span>This expands out of the reaction vessel, producing a choking acrid vapor and the smell of burned sugar.

<span> At this stage, sulfuric acid is highly corrosive and will burn skin so one must avoid contact with it. </span>

The are different reasons and these are the following:
1) The acid starts to go yellow as the dehydration begins.
2)The rate of dehydration then accelerates as the acid heats up .
3)This expands out of the reaction vessel.

nevsk [136]

On oxidation of aldehydes produces carboxylic acid functional group.

The product of oxidation of aldehydes depends upon whether the reaction occur in acidic medium or alkaline condition.

If oxidation of aldehydes occurs under acidic condition the product is carboxylic acid but if oxidation of aldehydes occurs under alkaline condition then reduce as well as oxidized product obtained which is known as disproportional product.

The  oxidation of aldehydes occur through potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate or many more. The oxidation of aldehydes in the presence of base is known as cannizzaro's reaction.

Determine the pH of the resulting solution if 25 mL of 0.400 M strychnine (C21H22N2O2) is added to 50 mL of 0.200 M HCl? Assume
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

pH = 4.56

Explanation:

The strychnine reacts with HCl as follows:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ + HCl ⇄ C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ + Cl⁻

<em />

For strychnine buffer:

pOH = 5.74 + log [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺] / [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂]

Initial moles of C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ are:

0.025L * (0.400 mol / L) = 0.01 moles C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂

And of HCl are:

0.05L * (0.200 mol / L) = 0.01 moles HCl

That means after the reaction, you will have just 0.01 moles of C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ in 50mL + 25mL = 0.075L. And molarity is:

[C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺] = 0.01 mol / 0.075L = 0.1333M

This conjugate acid, is in equilibrium with water as follows:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ + H₃O⁺

<em />

<em>Where Ka = Kw / Kb = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1.8x10⁻⁶ = 5.556x10⁻⁹</em>

<em />

Ka is defined as:

Ka = 5.556x10⁻⁹ = [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂] [H₃O⁺] / [C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺]

In equilibrium, concentrations are:

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂ = X

H₃O⁺ = X

C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₂H⁺ = 0.1333M - X

Replacing in Ka expression:

5.556x10⁻⁹ = [X] [X] / [0.1333M - X]

7.39x10⁻¹⁰ - 5.556x10⁻⁹X = X²

7.39x10⁻¹⁰ - 5.556x10⁻⁹X - X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = - 2.72x10⁻⁵M → False solution. There is no negative concentrations

X = 2.72x10⁻⁵M → Right solution.

As H₃O⁺ = X

H₃O⁺ = 2.72x10⁻⁵M

And pH = -log H₃O⁺

The density of a 45.0 mass % solution of ethanol (C2H5OH) in water is 0.873 g/mL. What is the molarity of the solution?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : The concentration of solution is, 8.53 M.

Explanation :

As we are given, 45.0 mass % solution of ethanol in water that means 45.0 g of ethanol present in 100 g of solution.

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}

\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{100g}{0.873g/mL}=114.5mL

Now we have to calculate the molarity of solution.

Mass of C_2H_5OH = 45.0 g

Volume of solution = 114.5 mL

Molar mass of C_2H_5OH = 46.07 g/mole

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_2H_5OH\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_5OH\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{45.0g\times 1000}{46.07g/mole\times 114.5mL}=8.53mole/L=8.53M

Therefore, the concentration of solution is, 8.53 M.
