The dissociation constant of ethanoic (acetic) acid in liquid ammonia is greater than it is in water. Suggest a reason for the difference. 

The amount of carbonic acid present, undissociated or dissociated, is only about 1 of the total concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide. Carbonic acid, in l especi of its dissociation into hydrogen and hydrogencarbonate ions, is actually a stronger acid than acetic acid the dissociation constant is ... 

In a 1 litre round-bottomed flask, equipped with an air condenser, place a mixture of 44 g. of o-chlorobenzoic acid (Section IV,157) (1), 156 g. (153 ml.) of redistilled aniline, 41 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 1 g. of cupric oxide. Reflux the mixture in an oil bath for 2 hours. Allow to cool. Remove the excess of aniline by steam distillation and add 20 g. of decolourising carbon to the brown residual solution. Boil the mixture for 15 minutes, and filter at the pump. Add the filtrate with stirring to a mixture of 30 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 60 ml. of water, and allow to cool. Filter off the precipitated acid with suction, and dry to constant weight upon filter paper in the air. The yield of iV-phenylanthranilic acid, m.p. 181-182° (capillary tube placed in preheated bath at 170°), is 50 g. This acid is pure enough for most purposes. It may be recrystaUised as follows dissolve 5 g. of the acid in either 25 ml. of alcohol or in 10 ml. of acetic acid, and add 5 ml. of hot water m.p. 182-183°. 

Hydrolyse the acetyl-sulphap3Tidine by boiling it with 10 parts of 2N sodium hydroxide for 1 hour, and allow to cool. Precipitate the base by the addition of 50 per cent, acetic acid until the mixture is just acid to litmus (pH about 6 5) avoid a large excess of acid. Filter off the crude sulphapyridine, wash well with water, and dry at 90° to constant weight (about 12 hours any acetate formed will bo decomposed). The yield is 35 g. RecrystaUise from 90 per cent, acetone (5) the recovery of the pure compoimd, m.p. 190-191°, is about 80 per cent. 

Dimethylaminomethylindole (gramine). Cool 42 5 ml. of aqueous methylamine solution (5 2N ca. 25 per cent, w/v) contained in an 100 ml. flask in an ice bath, add 30 g. of cold acetic acid, followed by 17 -2 g. of cold, 37 per cent, aqueous formaldehyde solution. Pour the solution on to 23 -4 g. of indole use 10 ml. of water to rinse out the flask. Allow the mixture to warm up to room temperature, with occasional shaking as the indole dissolves. Keep the solution at 30-40° overnight and then pour it, with vigorous stirring, into a solution of 40 g. of potassium hydroxide in 300 ml. of water crystals separate. Cool in an ice bath for 2 hours, collect the crystalline solid by suction flltration, wash with three 50 ml. portions of cold water, and dry to constant weight at 50°. The yield of gramine is 34 g. this is quite suitable for conversion into 3-indoleacetic acid. The pure compound may be obtained by recrystaUisation from acetone-hexane m.p. 133-134°. 

The mixed aliphatic - aromatic ethers are somewhat more reactive in addition to cleavage by strong hydriodio acid and also by constant b.p. hydrobromio acid in acetic acid solution into phenols and alkyl halides, they may be bromi-nated, nitrated and converted into sulphonamides (Section IV,106,2). 

The equilibrium constant K, the rate constants and and the dependences of all these quantities on temperature were determined. In the absence of added acetic acid, the conversion of nitric acid into acetyl nitrate is almost quantitative. Therefore, to obtain at equilibrium a concentration of free nitric acid sufficiently high for accurate analysis, media were studied which contained appreciable concentrations (c. 4 mol 1 ) of acetic acid. 

The dependence of the zeroth-order rate constants on the concentration of acetyl nitrate is shown in fig. 5.1 in the absence of added acetic acid the rate increases according to the third power of the concentration of acetyl nitrate, but when acetic acid is added the dependence becomes... 

The kinetics of the nitration of benzene, toluene and mesitylene in mixtures prepared from nitric acid and acetic anhydride have been studied by Hartshorn and Thompson. Under zeroth order conditions, the dependence of the rate of nitration of mesitylene on the stoichiometric concentrations of nitric acid, acetic acid and lithium nitrate were found to be as described in section 5.3.5. When the conditions were such that the rate depended upon the first power of the concentration of the aromatic substrate, the first order rate constant was found to vary with the stoichiometric concentration of nitric acid as shown on the graph below. An approximately third order dependence on this quantity was found with mesitylene and toluene, but with benzene, increasing the stoichiometric concentration of nitric acid caused a change to an approximately second order dependence. Relative reactivities, however, were found to be insensitive... 

Here the weaker acid (acetic acid) is on the left and the stronger acid (hydronium ion) IS on the right The equilibrium constant is less than 1 and the position of equilibrium lies to the left... 

Ratio of first order rate constant for solvolysis in indicated solvent to that for solvolysis in acetic acid at 25 C... 

Monoprotic weak acids, such as acetic acid, have only a single acidic proton and a single acid dissociation constant. Some acids, such as phosphoric acid, can donate more than one proton and are called polyprotic weak acids. Polyprotic acids are described by a series of acid dissociation steps, each characterized by it own acid dissociation constant. Phosphoric acid, for example, has three acid dissociation reactions and acid dissociation constants. 

The equilibrium position for any reaction is defined by a fixed equilibrium constant, not by a fixed combination of concentrations for the reactants and products. This is easily appreciated by examining the equilibrium constant expression for the dissociation of acetic acid. 

As a single equation with three variables, equation 6.26 does not have a unique solution for the concentrations of CHaCOOH, CHaCOQ-, and HaO+. At constant temperature, different solutions of acetic acid may have different values for [HaO+], [CHaCOQ-] and [CHaCOOH], but will always have the same value ofiQ. 

If a solution of acetic acid at equilibrium is disturbed by adding sodium acetate, the [CHaCOO-] increases, suggesting an apparent increase in the value of K. Since Ka must remain constant, however, the concentration of all three species in equation 6.26 must change in a fashion that restores to its original value. In this case, equilibrium is reestablished by the partial reaction of CHaCOO and HaO+ to produce additional CHaCOOH. 

Suppose you need to prepare a buffer with a pH of 9.36. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, you calculate the amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate needed and prepare the buffer. When you measure the pH, however, you find that it is 9.25. If you have been careful in your calculations and measurements, what can account for the difference between the obtained and expected pHs In this section, we will examine an important limitation to our use of equilibrium constants and learn how this limitation can be corrected. 

The equilibrium constant for reaction 9.2 is large K = KJK = 1.75 X 10 ), so we can treat the reaction as one that goes to completion. Before the equivalence point, the concentration of unreacted acetic acid is... 

Acetic acid has a sharp odor and the glacial acid has a fiery taste and will penetrate unbroken skin to make bUsters. Prolonged exposure to air containing 5—10 mg/m does not seem to be seriously harmful, but there are pronounced, undesirable effects from constant exposure to as high as 26 mg/m over a 10-day period (8). 

Electron withdrawing effects of the cx-chlorine give chloroacetic acid a higher dissociation constant than that of acetic acid. 

Hydrolysis of TEOS in various solvents is such that for a particular system increases directiy with the concentration of H" or H O" in acidic media and with the concentration of OH in basic media. The dominant factor in controlling the hydrolysis rate is pH (21). However, the nature of the acid plays an important role, so that a small addition of HCl induces a 1500-fold increase in whereas acetic acid has Httie effect. Hydrolysis is also temperature-dependent. The reaction rate increases 10-fold when the temperature is varied from 20 to 45°C. Nmr experiments show that varies in different solvents as foUows acetonitrile > methanol > dimethylformamide > dioxane > formamide, where the k in acetonitrile is about 20 times larger than the k in formamide. The nature of the alkoxy groups on the siHcon atom also influences the rate constant. The longer and the bulkier the alkoxide group, the lower the (3). 

In a study of the kinetics of the reaction of 1-butanol with acetic acid at 0—120°C, an empirical equation was developed that permits estimation of the value of the rate constant with a deviation of 15.3% from the molar ratio of reactants, catalyst concentration, and temperature (30). This study was conducted usiag sulfuric acid as catalyst with a mole ratio of 1-butanol to acetic acid of 3 19.6, and a catalyst concentration of 0—0.14 wt %.
