During oxidation of ethanol to ethanol, the ethanol formed was found to be contaminated with unconverted ethanol, describe how y

<u><em>The process of how we would obtain </em></u><u><em>ethanal</em></u><u><em> </em></u><u><em>free</em></u><u><em> from ethanol is described in the explanations below. </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

  • In Chemistry, Ethanol undergoes oxidation in the presence of sodium dichromate plus sulphuric acid to yield ethanal and water.

The procedure for achieving this in the laboratory is as follows;

  • Step 1; Measure a quantity of a solution of sodium dichromate acidified in a dilute sulphuric acid and pour into a test tube.

  • Step 2; Add excess <em>ethanol</em>. This is because if we don't do so there will be plenty of oxidizing agent to carry out a second operation which changes the aldehyde to ethanoic acid. However, we need only the aldehyde.

  • Step 3; When the aldehyde ethanal begins to form which will be evident by the change in the colour of solution from <em>orange to green</em>, then the mixture should be distilled from the test tube and tbethe aldehyde collevted so that it doesn't undergo additional oxidation into ethanoic acid.

Answer:

Ethanol is oxidised by acidified sodium dichromate in a test tube reaction, firstly to form ethanal (acetaldehyde), and with further oxidation, ethanoic acid (acetic acid)

Procedure

Place about 3 cm3 of acidified sodium dichromate solution in a boiling tube.

Use a teat pipette to add 5–7 drops of ethanol, with shaking.

Cool the mixture in the tube under a tap. Note the sweetish smell of ethanal (acetaldehyde) at first, then becoming sharper as oxidation continues and forms ethanoic acid (acetic acid).

When the reaction has subsided, the mixture can be warmed gently; the smell of ethanoic acid will become more noticeable.

When dilute HCL is added to zinc pieces taken in a test tube​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.

Explanation:

When dilute HCl is added to zinc pieces, a rection will takes place as follows :

Zn+HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

It means that zinc chloride will form when zinc reacts with dilute HCL. Also hydrogen gas will produced.

As zinc is more reactive than hydrogen, it displaces hydrogen from its solution and forms zinc chloride. The form product is white in color and H₂ is an odorless gas.

Hence, zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s
raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                       C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-

Initial conc.        c                                 0                0

At eqm.             c-x                                 x                x

Given:

c = 7.0\times 10^{-2}M

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}

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

6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}

x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M
