Acetone.—Friedel,4 by electrolyzing a sulphuric-acid solution of acetone, obtained carbonic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid. Mulder 5 and Riche 6 were able to isolate mono- and dichloracetone from the hydrochloric-acid electrolyte, and monobrom,acetone from a hydrobromic-acid solution. 

A sodium hypochlorite solution, containing one molecular proportion of active chlorine is well stirred with 3 molecular proportions of toluene and the mixture cooled to -5° C. or below. One half a molecular proportion of dilute sulphuric acid is then gradually added during six hours, instead of sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, boric acid, carbonic acid, acetic acid, etc., or an acid salt, such as sodium hydrogen sulphate, may be used. After standing the two layers are separated and the product of reaction distilled. Unchanged toluene passes over first, followed by pure benzylchloride. The residue contains a small quantity of benzal chloride, and 2% to 3% of highly chlorinated products. The yield of benzylchloride is about 60% to 70% of the theoretical yield calculated on the active chlorine present.

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 ... 

Vapor-Phase Condensations of Acetic Acid or Esters with Formaldehyde. Addition of a methylol group to the a-carbon of acetic acid or esters, foUowed by dehydration, gives the acrylates. 

Most weak base anion exchangers adsorbweak organic acids such as formic acid [64-18-6] and acetic acid [64-19-7] but do not remove weak organic acids such as carbonic acid [463-79-6] or siHcic acid [7669-41 ]. 

Potassium Acetate. Potassium acetate [127-08-2] is usually made from carbonate and acetic acid as follows ... 

The estimation of alkoxy groups is not such a simple task. One method (26,68) involves hydrolysis and oxidation of the Hberated alcohol with excess standard potassium dichromate solution. The excess may then be estimated iodometrically. This method is suitable only for methoxides, ethoxides, and isopropoxides quantitative conversion to carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and acetone, respectively, takes place. An alternative method for ethoxides is oxidation followed by distillation, and titration of the Hberated acetic acid. 

Because the solution is capable of absorbing one mole of carbon monoxide per mole of cuprous ion, it is desirable to maximize the copper content of the solution. The ammonia not only complexes with the cuprous ion to permit absorption but also increases the copper solubiUty and thereby permits an even greater carbon monoxide absorption capacity. The ammonia concentration is set by a balance between ammonia vapor pressure and solution acidity. Weak organic acids, eg, formic, acetic, and carbonic acid, are used because they are relatively noncorrosive and inexpensive. A typical formic acid...

As described earlier one of the possible products from the AFO reaction is dihydroxyflavonols. Simpson and coworkers took advantage of this outcome in their synthesis of the flavonol rhamnocitrin (23). Chalcone 24 was subjected to the typical AFO conditions to deliver dihydroxyflavonol 25. The isolated product was further subjected to hydrogen peroxide to afford flavonol 25a in 30% yield. However, treatment of 25 with bismuth acetate, generated in situ from bismuth carbonate and acetic acid, gave 25a in 77% yield for a respectable 52% overall yield over two steps. 25a was then selectively demethylated with anilinium chloride to deliver rhamnocitrin (23). 

Acetic acid is used as a solvent for some reactions between acids and bases, (a) Nitrous acid and carbonic acids are both weak acids in water. Will either of them act as a strong acid in acetic acid Explain your answer, (b) Will ammonia act as a strong or weak base in acetic acid Explain your answer.

Mixed acid systems are blends of mineral acids and organic acids. Combinations that have been used in carbonate acidizing include acetic acid/HCl and formic acid/HCl. While these are less corrosive than hydrochloric acid alone, the organic acid may not react completely with the rock. Blends of formic acid and hydrofluoric acid have been used in high temperature sandstone acidizing and are less corrosive than HC1/HF blends. 

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids, often with a long aliphatic tail (long carbon chains), which can be either saturated (all single bonds) or unsaturated. They are biosynthesized from two-carbon units (acetate, CH3COO ), and therefore usually have an even number of carbons with a range of C4 to C36, although Ci6 and Ci8 are dominant. Figure 7.7 shows the structure of octadecanoic acid (slearic acid, Ci8 o), c/.v-9-octadeccnoic acid (oleic acid, Ci8 i), and... 

The composition of the defensive spray is 84% acetic acid, which we have already met, 5% octanoic acid, an eight-carbon acid, and 11% water. An 84% solntion of acetic acid in water is pretty strong stnff vinegar is abont a 5-10% solntion of acetic acid in water, plus some flavoring agents. Unlike acetic acid, octanoic acid is qnite hydrophobic (that is, water-hating and poorly water-soluble), thanks to its long hydrocarbon tail ...
