Acids inorganic

The complex greases are obtained by the reaction of bases with mixtures of organic and/or inorganic acids. The three groups of complex greases are ... 

When we use any substance as a solvent for a protonic acid, the acidic and basic species produced by dissociation of the solvent molecules determine the limits of acidity or basicity in that solvent. Thus, in water, we cannot have any substance or species more basic than OH or more acidic than H30 in liquid ammonia, the limiting basic entity is NHf, the acidic is NH4. Many common inorganic acids, for example HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 are all equally strong in water because their strengths are levelled to that of the solvent species Only by putting them into a more acidic... 

Phenylhydrazine is usually dissolved in acetic acid for hydrazone formation if a salt of phenylhydrazine with an inorganic acid is used, it must be mixed with an excess of sodium acetate (see preparation of osazones, p. 137). 

Strictly speaking the alkyl halides are esters of the halogen acids, but since they enter into many reactions (t.g., formation of Grignard reagents, reaction with potassium cyanide to yield nitriles, etc.) which cannot be brought about by the other eaters, the alkyl halides are usually distinguished from the esters of the other inorganic acids. The preparation of a number of these is described below. 

Although the term ester used without a modifier is normally taken to mean an ester of a carboxylic acid alcohols can react with inorganic acids m a process similar to the Fis cher esterification The products are esters of inorganic acids For example alkyl nitrates are esters formed by the reaction of alcohols with nitric acid...

Formation of esters of inorganic acids (Section 15 9) Alkyl nitrates dialkyl sulfates trialkyl phos phites and trialkyl phosphates are examples of alkyl esters of inor game acids In some cases these compounds are prepared by the direct reaction of an alcohol and the inorganic acid... 

Anhydrides. Anhydrides of inorganic acids are named as oxides for example, N2O5, dinitrogen pentaoxide. 

Esters. Esters of inorganic acids are named as the salts for example, ( 113)2804, dimethyl sulfate. However, if it is desired to specify the constitution of the compound, the nomenclature for coordination compounds should be used.

Inorganic Analysis Acid-base titrimetry is a standard method for the quantitative analysis of many inorganic acids and bases. Standard solutions of NaOH can be used in the analysis of inorganic acids such as H3PO4 or H3ASO4, whereas standard solutions of HCl can be used for the analysis of inorganic bases such as Na2C03. 

Strong inorganic acid can be used as a reaction catalyst, or if the temperature is raised high enough, sufficient acetic acid is produced by the heat to cataly2e formation of furfural. 

This procedure may result in a concentration of cumene hydroperoxide of 9—12% in the first reactor, 15—20% in the second, 24—29% in the third, and 32—39% in the fourth. Yields of cumene hydroperoxide may be in the range of 90—95% (18). The total residence time in each reactor is likely to be in the range of 3—6 h. The product is then concentrated by evaporation to 75—85% cumene hydroperoxide. The hydroperoxide is cleaved under acid conditions with agitation in a vessel at 60—100°C. A large number of nonoxidising inorganic acids are usehil for this reaction, eg, sulfur dioxide (19). 

Zirconium trifluoride [13814-22-7], ZrP, was first prepared by the fluorination of ZrH2 using a mixture of H2 and anhydrous HP at 750°C (2). It can also be prepared by the electrolysis of Zr metal in KF—NaF melts (3). Zirconium trifluoride is stable at ambient temperatures but decomposes at 300°C. It is slightly soluble in hot water and readily soluble in inorganic acids. This compound is of academic interest rather than of any industrial importance. 

Chemical Properties. A combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures result in high performance service in the chemical processing industry. Teflon PEA resins have been exposed to a variety of organic and inorganic compounds commonly encountered in chemical service (26). They are not attacked by inorganic acids, bases, halogens, metal salt solutions, organic acids, and anhydrides. Aromatic and ahphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds, and other polymer solvents have Httle effect. However, like other perfluorinated polymers,they react with alkah metals and elemental fluorine. 

Phosphoric Acid. The only inorganic acid used for food appkeations is phosphoric acid [7664-38-2] H PO, which is second only to citric acid in popularity. The primary use of phosphoric acid is in carbonated beverages, especially root beer and cola. It is also used for its leavening, emulsification, nutritive enhancement, water binding, and antimicrobial properties. Eood-grade phosphoric acid is produced by the furnace method. Elemental phosphoms is burned to yield phosphoms pentoxide which is then reacted with water to produce phosphoric acid (see Phosphoric acid and the phosphates) (12). 

Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell. Concentrated phosphoric acid is used for the electrolyte ia PAFC, which operates at 150 to 220°C. At lower temperatures, phosphoric acid is a poor ionic conductor (see Phosphoric acid and the phosphates), and CO poisoning of the Pt electrocatalyst ia the anode becomes more severe when steam-reformed hydrocarbons (qv) are used as the hydrogen-rich fuel. The relative stabiUty of concentrated phosphoric acid is high compared to other common inorganic acids consequentiy, the PAFC is capable of operating at elevated temperatures. In addition, the use of concentrated (- 100%) acid minimizes the water-vapor pressure so water management ia the cell is not difficult. The porous matrix used to retain the acid is usually sihcon carbide SiC, and the electrocatalyst ia both the anode and cathode is mainly Pt. 

Methylamines are produced from the vapor reaction of methanol with ammonia over a siUca—alumiaa catalyst. Methyl esters result from the reaction of methanol with the corresponding organic or inorganic acid as shown, eg, for methyl methacrylate.
