The chemical properties of nitric acid require us to consider the structure first. The vapour of pure nitric acid (i.e. anhydrous) is probably composed of molecules of hydrogen nitrate , which structurally is a resonance hybrid of such forms as ... 

We have already discussed one important chemical property of alkynes the acidity of acetylene and terminal alkynes In the remaining sections of this chapter several other reactions of alkynes will be explored Most of them will be similar to reactions of alkenes Like alkenes alkynes undergo addition reactions We 11 begin with a reaction familiar to us from our study of alkenes namely catalytic hydrogenation... 

In the preceding chapter you learned that nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group IS one of the fundamental reaction types of organic chemistry In addition to its own reactivity a carbonyl group can affect the chemical properties of aldehydes and ketones m other ways Aldehydes and ketones having at least one hydrogen on a carbon next to the carbonyl are m equilibrium with their enol isomers... 

Formic acid exhibits many of the typical chemical properties of the aHphatic carboxyHc acids, eg, esterification and amidation, but, as is common for the first member of an homologous series, there are distinctive differences in properties between formic acid and its higher homologues. The smaller inductive effect of hydrogen in comparison to an alkyl group leads, for example, to formic acid = 3.74) being a considerably stronger acid than acetic acid... 

Because it was not possible to explain the differences in the effectiveness of hydrogen as compared to other gases on the basis of differences in their physical properties, ie, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, or heat capacity differences, their chemical properties were explored. To differentiate between the hydrogen atoms in the C2H2 molecules and those injected as the quench, deuterium gas was used as the quench. The data showed that although 90% of the acetylene was recovered, over 99% of the acetylene molecules had exchanged atoms with the deuterium quench to form C2HD and... 

Each isomer has its individual set of physical and chemical properties however, these properties are similar (Table 6). The fundamental chemical reactions for pentanes are sulfonation to form sulfonic acids, chlorination to form chlorides, nitration to form nitropentanes, oxidation to form various compounds, and cracking to form free radicals. Many of these reactions are used to produce intermediates for the manufacture of industrial chemicals. Generally the reactivity increases from a primary to a secondary to a tertiary hydrogen (37). Other properties available but not Hsted are given in equations for heat capacity and viscosity (34), and saturated Hquid density (36). 

Chemical Properties. Higher a-olefins are exceedingly reactive because their double bond provides the reactive site for catalytic activation as well as numerous radical and ionic reactions. These olefins also participate in additional reactions, such as oxidations, hydrogenation, double-bond isomerization, complex formation with transition-metal derivatives, polymerization, and copolymerization with other olefins in the presence of Ziegler-Natta, metallocene, and cationic catalysts. All olefins readily form peroxides by exposure to air. 

Chemical Properties. Although hydrogen sulfide is thermodynamically stable, it can dissociate at very high temperatures. The decomposition thermodynamics and kinetics have been reviewed and the equihbrium constant for the reaction has been deterrnined (101,102) ... 

Chemical Properties. Thionyl chloride chemistry has been reviewed (169—173). Significant inorganic reactions of thionyl chloride include its reactions with sulfur trioxide to form pyrosulfuryl chloride and with hydrogen bromide to form thionyl bromide [507-16-4]. With many metal oxides it forms the corresponding metal chloride plus sulfur dioxide and therefore affords a convenient means for preparing anhydrous metal chlorides. 

Chemical Properties. Ammonium thiocyanate rearranges upon heating to an equiHbrium mixture with thiourea 30.3 wt % thiourea at 150°C, 25.3 wt % thiourea at 180°C (373,375). At 190—200°C, dry ammonium thiocyanate decomposes to hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon disulfide, leaving guanidine thiocyanate [56960-89-5] as a residue. Aqueous solutions of ammonium thiocyanate are weakly acidic a 5 wt % solution has a pH of 4—6. 

Chemical Properties. The most impoitant reactions which tetraorganotins undergo are heterolytic, ie, electrophilic and nucleophilic, cleavage and Kocheshkov redistribution (81—84). The tin—carbon bond in tetraorganotins is easily cleaved by halogens, hydrogen hahdes, and mineral acids ... 

Chemical Properties. The most significant chemical property of L-ascorbic acid is its reversible oxidation to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid. Dehydro-L-ascorbic acid has been prepared by uv irradiation and by oxidation with air and charcoal, halogens, ferric chloride, hydrogen peroxide, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, neutral potassium permanganate, selenium oxide, and many other compounds. Dehydro-L-ascorbic acid has been reduced to L-ascorbic acid by hydrogen iodide, hydrogen sulfide, 1,4-dithiothreitol (l,4-dimercapto-2,3-butanediol), and the like (33). 

Chemical Properties. Hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid its ionization constant is of the same magnitude as that of the natural amino acids (qv). Its stmcture is that of a linear, triply bonded molecule, HC=N. 

Chemical Properties. Potassium cyanide is readily oxidized to potassium cyanate [590-28-3] by heating in the presence of oxygen or easily reduced oxides, such as those of lead or tin or manganese dioxide, and in aqueous solution by reaction with hypochlorites or hydrogen peroxide. 

Most of the chemical properties of tritium are common to those of the other hydrogen isotopes. However, notable deviations in chemical behavior result from isotope effects and from enhanced reaction kinetics induced by the ( -emission in tritium systems. Isotope exchange between tritium and other hydrogen isotopes is an interesting manifestation of the special chemical properties of tritium. 

It has been demonstrated that a solvent-extraction procedure with N-methyl pyrrolidone is capable of producing coal-derived extract pitches with low-ash contents. Moreover, the properties of the pitches can be varied by partial hydrogenation of the coal prior to extraction. The yield of the pitches along with the physical and chemical properties of the cokes and graphites vai in an understandable fashion. 

Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth. The earth s crust is rich in carbonate and silicate rocks, the oceans are almost entirely water, and oxygen constitutes almost one fifth of the air we breathe. Carbon ranks only fourteenth among the elements in natural abundance, but trails only hydrogen and oxygen in its abundance in the human body. It is the chemical properties of carbon that make it uniquely suitable as the raw material forthe building blocks of life. Let s find out more about those chemical properties.
