Acidity continued oxalic acid

B. 2-Methylcyclopenlane-l,3,5-trione hydrate. A mixture of 200 g. (0.89 mole) of the keto ester prepared above, 910 ml. of water, and 100 ml. of 85% phosphoric acid is healed under reflux for 4 hours and then cooled in an ice-salt bath to —5°. The trione mixed with oxalic acid separates and is collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. The dried material is extracted with boiling ether (250-300 ml.) under reflux, and the ethereal extract is separated from the undissolved oxalic acid. The original aqueous filtrate is also extracted with ether in a continuous extractor. The two extracts are combined, and ether is removed by distillation. The crude trione separates as a dark brown solid and is crystallized from ca. 250 ml. of hot water. The once-crystallized, faintly yellow product weighs 95-105 g. (74-82%), m.p. 70-74°. This product is used in the next step without further purification. A better specimen, m.p. 77-78°, which is almost colorless, can be obtained by recrystallization from hot water after treatment with Norit activated carbon. 

If the dissociation constant of the acid HA is very small, the anion A- will be removed from the solution to form the undissociated acid HA. Consequently more of the salt will pass into solution to replace the anions removed in this way, and this process will continue until equilibrium is established (i.e. until [M + ] x [A-] has become equal to the solubility product of MA) or, if sufficient hydrochloric acid is present, until the sparingly soluble salt has dissolved completely. Similar reasoning may be applied to salts of acids, such as phosphoric(V) acid (K1 = 7.5 x 10-3 mol L-1 K2 = 6.2 x 10-8 mol L-1 K3 = 5 x 10 13 mol L-1), oxalic acid (Kx = 5.9 x 10-2 mol L-K2 = 6.4 x 10-5molL-1), and arsenic)V) acid. Thus the solubility of, say, silver phosphate)V) in dilute nitric acid is due to the removal of the PO ion as... 

Notes. (1) For elementary students, it is sufficient to weigh out accurately about 1.7 g of sodium oxalate, transfer it to a 250 mL graduated flask, and make up to the mark. Shake well, Use 25 mL of this solution per titration and add 150mL of ca 1M sulphuric acid. Carry out the titration rapidly at the ordinary temperature until the first pink colour appears throughout the solution, and allow to stand until the solution is colourless. Warm the solution to 50-60 °C and continue the titration to a permanent faint pink colour. It must be remembered that oxalate solutions attack glass, so that the solution should not be stored more than a few days. 

This analytical procedure is based on an optimum analysis condition for segmented continuous flow analysis. The sample is combined with a molybdate solution at a pH between 1.4 and 1.8 to form the //-molybdosilicic acid. After an appropriate time for reaction, a solution of oxalic acid is added, which transforms the excess molybdate to a non-reducible form. The oxalic acid also suppresses the interference from phosphate by decomposing phosphomolyb-dic acid. Finally, a reductant is added to form molybdenum blue. Both ascorbic acid and stannous chloride were tested as reductants. 

It was observed that the plant gave a trouble-free service during the 21 day period. However, flushing of the membranes with feed water was resorted to only once after 15 days of continuous operation. After 21 daiys, the plant showed signs of decline in salt rejection which dropped to 88 per cent. At this stage the membranes were flushed with oxalic acid. 

With 2,4-D, neither the trimethylsilyl ester nor the free acid was found among the reaction products. The dominant chromatographic peaks in the mixture represent the TMS derivatives of glycolic acid, oxalic acid, and several four-carbon oxidation products. Some of the latter have been tentatively identified, and the work needed to confirm choices between alternative structures is continuing. Some smaller chromatographic peaks probably represent derivatives of structures containing five or more carbon atoms. The nature of... 

The product of nitration of dimethyloxamide is soluble in nitric acid and is separated by pouring the solution into water. It decomposes on treatment with concentrated sulphuric acid or on boiling with aqueous ammonia or barium hydroxide solution, forming the corresponding methylnitramine salt. Similarly, long-continued boiling in water results in complete decomposition, with the formation of oxalic acid and methylnitramine. 

Tellurous acid cannot be determined by oxidation with potassium permanganate in acidified solution, but in alkaline solution accurate results may be obtained by cooling to 8°-10° C. after the oxidation and slowly acidifying with dilute sulphuric acid, with continual stirring. Excess of standard oxalic acid is then added and after warming to 50° C. the remaining excess is titrated with permanganate.6...
