Carbon dioxide tetrachloride

Solid carbon dioxide (Dry Ice, Drikold) is employed when very low temperatures are required. If it is suspended in solvents, such as alcohol or a mixture of equal volumes of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, temperatures down to — 50° can be easily attained. Lower temperatures still are reached if intimate mixtures of solid carbon dioxide and organic solvents are employed with ethyl alcohol, — 72° with... 

Without carbon, the basis for life would be impossible. While it has been thought that silicon might take the place of carbon in forming a host of similar compounds, it is now not possible to form stable compounds with very long chains of silicon atoms. The atmosphere of Mars contains 96.2% CO2. Some of the most important compounds of carbon are carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon disulfide (CS2), chloroform (CHCb), carbon tetrachloride (CCk), methane (CHr), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), benzene (CeHe), acetic acid (CHsCOOH), and their derivatives.

A factor militating against the use of other adsorptives for pore size determination at the present time is the lack of reliable r-curves. The number of published isotherms of vapours such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride or the lower alkanes, or even such simple inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, on a reasonable number of well-defined non-porous adsorbents, is very small. 

The various fumigants often exhibit considerable specificity toward insect pests, as shown in Table 8. The proper choice for any control operation is determined not only by the effectiveness of the gas but by cost safety to humans, animals, and plants flammabdity penetratabdity effect on seed germination and reactivity with furnishings. The fumigants may be used individually or in combination. Carbon tetrachloride has been incorporated with carbon disulfide, ethylene dichloride, or ethylene dibromide to decrease flammability, and carbon dioxide is used with ethylene oxide for the same purpose. 

Sihcon carbide is comparatively stable. The only violent reaction occurs when SiC is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and lead chromate. Chemical reactions do, however, take place between sihcon carbide and a variety of compounds at relatively high temperatures. Sodium sihcate attacks SiC above 1300°C, and SiC reacts with calcium and magnesium oxides above 1000°C and with copper oxide at 800°C to form the metal sihcide. Sihcon carbide decomposes in fused alkahes such as potassium chromate or sodium chromate and in fused borax or cryohte, and reacts with carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ak, and steam. Sihcon carbide, resistant to chlorine below 700°C, reacts to form carbon and sihcon tetrachloride at high temperature. SiC dissociates in molten kon and the sihcon reacts with oxides present in the melt, a reaction of use in the metallurgy of kon and steel (qv). The dense, self-bonded type of SiC has good resistance to aluminum up to about 800°C, to bismuth and zinc at 600°C, and to tin up to 400°C a new sihcon nitride-bonded type exhibits improved resistance to cryohte. 

If an ethyl ether fire occurs, carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride, and dry chemical fire extinguishers meeting National Eire Prevention Association Code 1 and 2 requirements may be used successhiUy (23). Water may also be effectively appHed (see Plant safety). Hose streams played into open tanks of burning ethyl ether serve only to scatter the Hquid and spread the fire. However, ether fires may be extinguished by a high pressure water spray that cools the burning surface and smothers the fire. Automatic sprinklers and deluge systems are also effective. 

Hydroxybenzoic acid has been prepared by heating potassium phenoxide in a stream of carbon dioxide or with carbon tetrachloride, and by heating jfr-cresol with alkalies and various metallic oxides. The procedure described above is similar to one which appears in the early literature ... 

B. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate. A solution of 20.0 g. (0.076 mole) of di-i-butyl tricarbonate in 75 ml. of carbon tetrachloride is placed in a 600-ml. beaker fitted with a magnetic stirrer, and 0.10 g. (0.0009 mole) of freshly sublimed l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is added (Note 9). Rapid evolution of carbon dioxide begins at once. The reaction mixture is stirred at 25° for 45 minutes to complete the loss of carbon dioxide (Note 10), and then 35 ml. of water, containing sufficient citric acid to make the aqueous layer slightly acidic, is added. The layers are separated and the organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated at 25° with a rotary evaporator. The residual liquid is distilled under reduced pressure to separate 13.3-15.1 g. (80-91%) of di-butyl dicarbonate as a colorless liquid, b.p. 55-56° (0.15 mm.) or 62-65° (0.4 mm.) n T> 1.4071-1.4072 (Note 11).

The formation of carbon monoxide aids chlorination in exactly the same way as does the formation of carbon dioxide which of the two oxides of carbon would found in the reaction depends on the temperature at which reduction-chlorination is carried out. Below 600 °C carbon dioxide forms while above 700 °C carbon monoxide is formed. This changeover results from the variation in the free energies of formation of these two oxides with temperature. For example, at 900 °C the situation as regards the formation of titanium tetrachloride from titanium dioxide is guided by the reactions ... 

Compounds with high dielectric constants such as water, ethanol and acetonitrile, tend to heat readily. Less polar substances like aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons or compounds with no net dipole moment (e. g. carbon dioxide, dioxane, and carbon tetrachloride) and highly ordered crystalline materials, are poorly absorbing.
