Acids oxyacids

In terms of chemical structure, Arrhenius acids can be divided into several different subcategories. We rvill look at three of them here binary acids, oxyacids, and organic Objective 4 acids. The binary acids are Q aq), HBr(<3 ), and Yi aqy, all have the... 

It was found for the oxidation of heptane [140] that up to 90% of C02 is formed in parallel with the acids and only 10% by decarboxylation of acids. Oxy- and ketoacids (up to 18% of all acids) were found to be produced in parallel with fatty acids in the oxidation of n-decane [141]. All the above facts are inconsistent with the assumption that the a-C—C bond only is broken on oxidation of ketones. Undoubtedly, some ketones are oxidized with scission of two C—C bonds. This conclusion is confirmed by the prevailing amount of lower fatty acids and parallel formation of C02 and acids in the oxidation of paraffins. Obviously, not only the a-CH2 group but also other CH2 groups are attacked in the ketone molecule. This results in the formation of bifunctional compounds with subsequent oxidation to acids, oxyacids, and ketoacids. The competing attack by peroxy radicals at the a-CH2 and other CH2 groups will be discussed later.

Oxidized paraffin soaps comprise saturated fatly acid, oxyacid (such as alcohol acid and ketonic acid), dicarboxylic acid, unsaponitied oxides, and unoxidized hydrocarbons. Oxidized paraffin soaps that are used as collector are comprised of fatty acids because mostly unsaponified oxides and unoxidized hydrocarbons had been removed from the product. The proportion of saturated fatty acid in oxidized paraffin soaps is about 80 %. And the proportion of oxyacid is about 5-10 %. The proportion of unsaponified oxides is about 2-3 %. 

Selenates are poisonous, selenic acid, H2Se04. See selenium oxyacids. 

The reaction can also be carried out with oleum, distilling the chlorosulfuric acid as it forms. Reaction with oxidizing oxyacids such as HNO Hberates chlorine. Anhydrous sulfates of the heavy metals form addition compounds with HCl that can be released by heating the complex to elevated temperatures. The complex CuSO 2HC1 has been used for storage and transport of HCl (23). 

Some of the other selenium oxyacids are permonoselenic acid [81256-77-17, H2SeO perdiselenic acid [81256-78-2] H2Se20g and pyroselenic acid [14998-61-9], H2Se20y. Selenosulfuric acid, H2SeS02, is not known but its alkah metal salts have been prepared. 

Bismuth Salts. Bismuth trioxide dissolves in concentrated solutions of strong oxyacids to yield bismuth salts. In more dilute solutions of strong acids or in solutions of weak acids, the oxide reacts to form bismuthyl or basic salts. The normal salts are very susceptible to hydrolysis. 

Sulphur molecules are Sg and it can exist in several forms. Its compounds are more acidic than those of oxygen and it may assume covalency up to six. It forms a series of oxides and oxyacids of diverse chemistry. Combustion yields mainly SO2, a cause of atmospheric pollution from sulphur-bearing fossil fuels. 

Phosphorus exists as white and red phosphorus. The former allotrope may be preserved in the dark at low temperatures but otherwise reverts to the more stable red form. The white form is a waxy, translucent, crystalline, highly-toxic solid subliming at room temperature and inflaming in air at 35°C, so it is handled under water. The red form is a reddish violet crystalline solid which vaporizes if heated at atmospheric pressure and condenses to give white phosphorus. The red form ignites in air at 260°C. Both are insoluble in water, and white phosphorus can be stored beneath it. Phosphorus forms a host of compounds such as phosphine, tri- and penta-halides, tri-, tetra- and penta-oxides, oxyacids including hypophosphorous, orthophosphorous and orthophosphoric acids.

The most common oxyacid of sulfur is H2S04, sulfuric acid. In dilute aqueous solutions this substance is almost completely dissociated into ions according to the equation... 

Sulfur in the +4 oxidation state also forms an oxyacid, sulfurous acid (HjSOj). This compound is not as strong an acid as H2S04. The equilibrium constant for the reaction... 

Therefore we see that the oxyacids of sulfur continue the trend of increasing acidity which...
