Acids, acid strength carbon

Perfluorinated carboxylic acids are corrosive liquids or solids. The acids are completely ionized in water. The acids are of commercial significance because of their unusual acid strength, chemical stabiUty, high surface activity, and salt solubiUty characteristics. The perfluoroaLkyl acids with six carbons or less are hquids the higher analogues are soHds (Table 1).

XL30). Mossbauer spectroscopy (KFKIj was applied to follow the state of Fe species in the zeolites. Carbon monoxide and ammonia adsorption (monitored with FTIR) (EQUINOX 55) was used to determine the nature, concentration and acid strength of the active sites in the Fe-TON zeolites. 

Problem 19,14 Assign numbers from 1 for least to 4 for most to indicate the relative acid strengths in the following groups (a) phenol, m-chlorophenol, m-nitrophenol, m-cresol (b) phenol, benzoic acid, p-nitro-phenol, carbonic acid (c) phenol, p-chlorophenol, p-nitrophenol, p-cresol (d) phenol, o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, p-nitrophenol (e) phenol, p-chlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol (/) phenol, benzyl alcohol, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid. ... 

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Means of measuring the pollution strength of domestic and industrial wastes based on the fact that most organic compounds can be oxidized by the action of strong oxidizing agents under acid conditions to carbon dioxide and water.
