Ethanol constants

The dosing volume and physical volume of the sample tube were determined as previously reported [2, 6]. Since the sample tube is stainless steel, a temperature correction was applied to the fluid phase in the volume up to 15 cm above the level of the ethanol constant temperature bath [7], resulting in a value of 110.48 m /g, within 0.15 % of our previously reported average value of five independent measurements [2]. 

The type of behavior shown by the ethanol-water system reaches an extreme in the case of higher-molecular-weight solutes of the polar-nonpolar type, such as, soaps and detergents [91]. As illustrated in Fig. Ul-9e, the decrease in surface tension now takes place at very low concentrations sometimes showing a point of abrupt change in slope in a y/C plot [92]. The surface tension becomes essentially constant beyond a certain concentration identified with micelle formation (see Section XIII-5). The lines in Fig. III-9e are fits to Eq. III-57. The authors combined this analysis with the Gibbs equation (Section III-SB) to obtain the surface excess of surfactant and an alcohol cosurfactant. 

Referring to Eq. V-69, calculate the value of C for a 150-A film of ethanol of dielectric constant 26. Optional Repeat the calculation in the SI system. 

Sulphonamides. Mix together 1 0 g. of the dry acid or 1 - 2 g. of the anhydrous salt with 2 5 g. of phosphorus pentachloride f and heat under a reflux condenser in an oil bath at 150° for 30 minutes. Cool the mixture, add 20 ml. of dry benzene, warm on a steam bath and stir the solid mass well to extract the sulphonyl chloride filter. Add the benzene solution slowly and with stirring to 10 ml. of concentrated ammonia solution. If the sulphonamide precipitates, separate it by filtration if no solid is obtained, evaporate the benzene on a steam bath. Wash the sulphonamide with a little cold water, and recrystallise from water, aqueous ethanol or ethanol to constant m.p. 

Breslow studied the dimerisation of cyclopentadiene and the reaction between substituted maleimides and 9-(hydroxymethyl)anthracene in alcohol-water mixtures. He successfully correlated the rate constant with the solubility of the starting materials for each Diels-Alder reaction. From these relations he estimated the change in solvent accessible surface between initial state and activated complex " . Again, Breslow completely neglects hydrogen bonding interactions, but since he only studied alcohol-water mixtures, the enforced hydrophobic interactions will dominate the behaviour. Recently, also Diels-Alder reactions in dilute salt solutions in aqueous ethanol have been studied and minor rate increases have been observed Lubineau has demonstrated that addition of sugars can induce an extra acceleration of the aqueous Diels-Alder reaction . Also the effect of surfactants on Diels-Alder reactions has been studied. This topic will be extensively reviewed in Chapter 4. 

The 95% ethanol of Everclear is not an arbitrary concentration that the producer decided to stop at, mind you. It so happens that 95% ethanol and 5% water is a constant boiling mix that no more ethanol can be purified from. That 5% water is there to stay There are ways to remove that water such as producing a ternary azeotrope by the addition of benzene, but they are kind of a hassle and may... 

For the HCI salt Do exactly as above except use 6N Hydrochloric Acid. 6N HCI may be produced by diluting 60.4mL of "Muriatic Acid" to lOOmL with distilled water. Evaporate the bubbler solution to dryness then add 15ml of water, lOmL 10% NaOH soln. and heat gently to a boil with constant motion until dense white fumes appear. This will remove the Ammonium Chloride. Remove from heat while stirring as it cools down. Pulverize the dry residue, then reflux with absolute Ethanol for several minutes. Filter the refluxed soln. on a heated Buchner or Hirsch funnel, then distill the alcohol off the filtrate until crystals just begin to form. Allow the soln. to cool naturally to room temperature, then cool further in an ice bath. Filter the solution on a chilled Buchner funnel with suction. The yield of Meth iamine Hydrochloride should be around 55% of the theoretical. 

In the second, which belongs to a systematic study of the transmission of substituent effects in heterocyclic systems, Noyce and Forsyth (384-386) showed that for thiazole, as for other simple heterocyclic systems, the rate of solvolysis of substituted hetero-arylethyl chlorides in 80% ethanol could be correlated with a constants of the substituent X only when there is mutual conjugation between X and the reaction center. In the case of thiazole this situation corresponds to l-(2-X-5-thiazolyl)ethyl chlorides (262) and l-(5-X-2-thiazolyl)ethyl chlorides (263). 

The compound is odorless with a faintly acidic taste it is practically insoluble in water, ethanol and dilute acids but freely soluble in dilute aqueous alkaU with dissociation constants, pfC, 3.73, 7.9, 9.3. The compound is prepared by sodium hydrosulfite reduction of 3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid [121 -19-7] and then acetylation in aqueous suspension with acetic anhydride at 50—55°C for 2 h (174,175). 

Amino-2-hydroxybenZOiC acid. This derivative (18) more commonly known as 4-aminosa1icy1ic acid, forms white crystals from ethanol, melts with effervescence and darkens on exposure to light and air. A reddish-brown crystalline powder is obtained on recrystallization from ethanol —diethyl ether. The compound is soluble ia dilute solutioas of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide, ethanol, and acetone slightly soluble in water and diethyl ether and virtually insoluble in benzene, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. It is unstable in aqueous solution and decarboxylates to form 3-amiaophenol. Because of the instabihty of the free acid, it is usually prepared as the hydrochloride salt, mp 224 °C (dec), dissociation constant p 3.25. 

In this process the addition of water vapor to the sweep stream can be controlled so that the water activity of the gas phase equals that of the beverage. When this occurs, there is no transport of water across the membrane. The water content of both the beverage feed and the sweep stream is kept constant. These conditions must be maintained for optimum alcohol reduction. The pervaporation system controls the feed, membrane, airstream moisture level, and ethanol recovery functions. An operational system has been developed (13). 

Minimum Reilux with Pinch Zone. There are some distillations where the minimum reflux does not occur at the intersection of the upper and lower operating lines and the q line. These cases arise when the equiUbrium is skewed from positive activity coefficients and when the operating line intersects the equiUbrium line in a 2one of constant composition, a pinch 2one, which is not at the line intersection. Figure 14 illustrates such a case. An example of such a pinch 2one in an ethanol—water column is available (37). 

It is equivalent to say that entropy of vaporization is a constant value for non-associating Hquids. Associating Hquids, eg, ammonia, water, methanol, and ethanol, do not obey the rule of Pictet and Trouton. Despite its simplicity, the Pictet-Trouton view of Hquid vaporization (19) is an exceUent example of the many rules of thumb that have been useful aids in engineering calculations for decades (5,7,8,9,21). However, proper appHcation requires an understanding of the physical reasoning behind each rule. 

The effect of water on the equbibrium constant for the reaction of 1 mol of ethanol, 1 mol of acetic acid, and 23 moles of water has been iavestigated. This mixture has an equbibrium constant of 3.56, compared with 3.79 for the reaction with anhydrous materials (7,37). 

Eijuilibrium Constant. At the pressures used in commercial production of ethanol (6.1—7.1 MPa or 60—70 atm), alcohol yield per pass is significantly limited by equiHbrium considerations. This fact has focused attention on deterrnination of equiHbrium constants and equiHbrium yields (122—124). The results of these deterrninations are as follows ... 

Ethyl Acetate. The esterification of ethanol by acetic acid was studied in detail over a century ago (357), and considerable Hterature exists on deterrninations of the equiUbrium constant for the reaction. The usual catalyst for the production of ethyl acetate [141-78-6] is sulfuric acid, but other catalysts have been used, including cation-exchange resins (358), a- uoronitrites (359), titanium chelates (360), and quinones and their pardy reduced products. 

Table 13-1, based on the binary-system activity-coefficient-eqnation forms given in Table 13-3. Consistent Antoine vapor-pressure constants and liquid molar volumes are listed in Table 13-4. The Wilson equation is particularly useful for systems that are highly nonideal but do not undergo phase splitting, as exemplified by the ethanol-hexane system, whose activity coefficients are snown in Fig. 13-20. For systems such as this, in which activity coefficients in dilute regions may...

Potassium acetate [127-08-2] M 98.2, m 292 , d 1.57, pK 16 (for aquo K" "). Crystd three times from water-ethanol (1 1) dried to constant weight in a vacuum oven, or crystd from anhydrous acetic acid and pumped dry under vacuum for 30h at 100°. 

The numerical constants were obtained over the temperature range of 5°C to 45°C and a concentration range of 0 to 0.5 volume fraction of ethanol inn-hexane.The effect of temperature and solvent composition on solute retention can, again, be best displayed by the use of 3-D graphs, and curves relating both temperature and solvent composition to the retention volume of the (S) enantiomer of 4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone are shown in Figure 23. Figure 23 shows that the volume fraction of ethanol in the solvent mixture has the major impact on solute retention. 

Hydroxy-B-homo-5a-cholestan-7-one acetate (54b) A solution of 3/3-hydroxy-5a-cholestan-7-one acetate (51b 5 g mp 146-148°) in dioxane-ethanol (100 ml, 1 1) is placed in a 250 ml three-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and thermometer and is cooled to 0° (iee-salt bath). Powdered potassium cyanide (7.3 g) is added portionwise with stirring. Acetic acid (8 ml) is then added dropwise with constant stirring over 30 min. The resultant mixture is stirred for 1 hr at 0° C and for an additional 2 hr at room temperature. It is then poured into ice water (200 g ice, 100 ml water) and after standing for 1 hr the precipitate is collected by filtration. The product is dissolved in ether (100 ml), the ether solution is washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate, water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The filtrate is evaporated at reduced pressure and the solid residue (5.1 g) is crystallized from ethyl acetate (30 ml) to yield 2.8 g of cyanohydrin (52b) mp 160-164° repeated crystallization from the same solvent gives a product mp 164-167°. An alternative method of isolation of the cyanohydrin is used when 100 g or larger quantities are worked up. The reaction mixture is poured directly into a mixture of ice water and sodium bicarbonate, the precipitate (mp 155-156°) is washed well with water, dried and used directly for the next step. 

Hydrolysis of an enamine yields a carbonyl compound and a secondary amine. Only a few rate constants are mentioned in the literature. The rate of hydrolysis of l-(jS-styryl)piperidine and l-(l-hexenyl)piperidine have been determined in 95% ethanol at 20°C 13). The values for the first-order rate constants are 4 x 10 sec and approximately 10 sec , respectively. Apart from steric effects the difference in rate may be interpreted in terms of resonance stabilization by the phenyl group on the vinyl amine structure, thus lowering the nucleophilic reactivity of the /3-carbon atom of that enamine.
