Sulfuric acid naming

In this section, we examine the fate of hydrolyzable derivatives of sulfuric acid, namely ... 

During the preparation of viscose rayon, cellulose is dissolved in a bath containing sodium hydroxide and later reprecipitated as rayon using a solution of sulfuric acid. Name the salt that is a by-product of this process. Rayon production is, in fact, a significant commercial source for this salt. 

Write an equation for the reaction of ethene with cold, concentrated sulfuric acid. Name the product. 

Concentrated (over 80 %) sulfuric acid, named oleum, is another example for viscous chemical. 

Sulfur Acids. Organic oxy acids of sulfur, that is, —SO3H, —SO2H, and —SOH, are named sulfonic acid, sulfinic acid, and sulfenic acid, respectively. In subordinate use, the respective prefixes are sulfo-, sulfino, and sulfeno-. The grouping —SO2—O—SO2— or —SO—O—SO is named sulfonic or sulfinic anhydride, respectively. 

Acetaldehyde [75-07-0] (ethanal), CH CHO, was first prepared by Scheele ia 1774, by the action of manganese dioxide [1313-13-9] and sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] on ethanol [64-17-5]. The stmcture of acetaldehyde was estabhshed in 1835 by Liebig from a pure sample prepared by oxidising ethyl alcohol with chromic acid. Liebig named the compound "aldehyde" from the Latin words translated as al(cohol) dehyd(rogenated). The formation of acetaldehyde by the addition of water [7732-18-5] to acetylene [74-86-2] was observed by Kutscherow] in 1881. 

Phenolphthalein. Alophen, Ex-Lax, Feen-a-Miat, Modane, and Phenolax are trade names for phenolphthaleia [77-09-8] (3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphen5l)-l-(3ff)-l isobensofuranone) (10). It is a white or faintiy yellowish white crystalline powder, odorless and stable ia air, and practically iasoluble ia water one gram is soluble ia 15 mL alcohol and 100 mL diethyl ether. Phenolphthaleia may be prepared by mixing phenol, phthaHc anhydride, and sulfuric acid, and heating at 120°C for 10—12 h. The product is extracted with boiling water, then the residue dissolved ia dilute sodium hydroxide solution, filtered, and precipitated with acid. 

Seaweeds. The eadiest successful manufacture of iodine started in 1817 using certain varieties of seaweeds. The seaweed was dried, burned, and the ash lixiviated to obtain iodine and potassium and sodium salts. The first process used was known as the kelp, or native, process. The name kelp, initially apphed to the ash of the seaweed, has been extended to include the seaweed itself. About 20 t of fresh seaweed was used to produce 5 t of air-dried product containing a mean of 0.38 wt % iodine in the form of iodides of alkah metals. The ash obtained after burning the dried seaweed contains about 1.5 wt % iodine. Chemical separation of the iodine was performed by lixiviation of the burned kelp, followed by soHd-Hquid separation and water evaporation. After separating sodium and potassium chloride, and sodium carbonate, the mother Hquor containing iodine as iodide was treated with sulfuric acid and manganese dioxide to oxidize the iodide to free iodine, which was sublimed and condensed in earthenware pipes (57). 

In the days of alchemy and the phlogiston theory, no system of nomenclature that would be considered logical ia the 1990s was possible. Names were not based on composition, but on historical association, eg, Glauber s salt for sodium sulfate decahydrate and Epsom salt for magnesium sulfate physical characteristics, eg, spirit of wiae for ethanol, oil of vitriol for sulfuric acid, butter of antimony for antimony trichloride, Hver of sulfur for potassium sulfide, and cream of tartar for potassium hydrogen tartrate or physiological behavior, eg, caustic soda for sodium hydroxide. Some of these common or trivial names persist, especially ia the nonchemical Hterature. Such names were a necessity at the time they were iatroduced because the concept of molecular stmcture had not been developed, and even elemental composition was incomplete or iadeterminate for many substances. 

Peroxosulfiiric Acids and Their Salts. Two kiads of peroxosulfiiric acid are known peroxomonosulfuric and peroxodisulfuric acids. Neither is available commercially ia the pure state. The name Caro s acid is commonly used as a synonym for peroxomonosulfuric acid, but is better reserved for the equiUbrium mixture with sulfuric acid. 

Ca.ro s Acid. Caro s acid is named after Heinrich Caro (1834—1910), who first described its preparation and oxidi2ing properties ia 1898. Hereia Caro s acid is used to designate the equiUbrium mixtures that result from mixing hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. These Hquids mix iastantly, generating a considerable amount of heat. The equiUbrium constant for this reaction is 0.1 (62). 

The long reaction time needed for this apparendy simple neutralization is on account of the phase inversion that takes place, namely, upon dilution, the soap Hquid crystals are dispersed as micelles. Neutralization of the sodium ions with sulfuric acid then reverses the micelles. The reverse micelles have a polar interior and a hydrophobic exterior. They coalesce into oil droplets. 

By-Product Calcium Sulfate. There are many iadustrial chemical processes that produce by-product calcium sulfate in one of its forms. Whereas the most common is the neutralization of spent sulfuric acid, many of those processes do not produce a commercially useful by-product because of contaminants, particle size, or volume produced. There are, however, six chemical processes that do produce sufficient volume to have potential commercial value. Each is named after its chemical process. 

Although chlorosulfuric acid [7790-94-5] CISO H, is the Chemicaly hstracts name, chlorosulfonic acid is the commercial designation by which this compound is more widely known. Other synonyms include sulfuric chlorohydrin, sulfuric acid chlorohydrin, monochlorosulfuric acid, chlorohydrated sulfuric acid, monochlorosulfonic acid, and chlorohydrosulfurous acid. 

The primary Cr—O bonded species is cbromium (VT) oxide, CrO, which is better known as chromic acid [1115-74-5], the commercial and common name. This compound also has the aliases chromic trioxide and chromic acid anhydride and shows some similarity to SO. The crystals consist of infinite chains of vertex-shared CrO tetrahedra and are obtained as an orange-red precipitate from the addition of sulfuric acid to the potassium or sodium dichromate(VI). Completely dry CrO is very dark red to red purple, but the compound is deflquescent and even traces of water give the normal mby red color. Cbromium (VT) oxide is a very powerful oxidi2er and contact with oxidi2able organic compounds may cause fires or explosions. 

Two complementai y reviews of this subject are by Shah et al. AIChE Journal, 28, 353-379 [1982]) and Deckwer (in de Lasa, ed.. Chemical Reactor Design andTechnology, Martinus Nijhoff, 1985, pp. 411-461). Useful comments are made by Doraiswamy and Sharma (Heterogeneous Reactions, Wiley, 1984). Charpentier (in Gianetto and Silveston, eds.. Multiphase Chemical Reactors, Hemisphere, 1986, pp. 104—151) emphasizes parameters of trickle bed and stirred tank reactors. Recommendations based on the literature are made for several design parameters namely, bubble diameter and velocity of rise, gas holdup, interfacial area, mass-transfer coefficients k a and /cl but not /cg, axial liquid-phase dispersion coefficient, and heat-transfer coefficient to the wall. The effect of vessel diameter on these parameters is insignificant when D > 0.15 m (0.49 ft), except for the dispersion coefficient. Application of these correlations is to (1) chlorination of toluene in the presence of FeCl,3 catalyst, (2) absorption of SO9 in aqueous potassium carbonate with arsenite catalyst, and (3) reaction of butene with sulfuric acid to butanol. 

The bromination of 7-methoxy-l-methyl-j8-carboline (harmine) was studied by Fischer. He obtained a compound, Ci3Hi2Br4N20, which he called tetrabromoharmine, by the action of bromine water on a dilute sulfuric acid solution of harmine. The bromination of harmine was reinvestigated by Hasenfratz, who found that two products (both hydrobromides) could be isolated when harmine was treated with bromine in aqueous acetic acid. The major component formed colorless needles and was called bromoharmine hydrobromide (free base colorless needles, m.p. 275°), while the product obtained in lesser amount was a canary-yellow dihydrate which was named isobromoharmine hydrobromide (free base colorless needles, m.p.

One step in the manufacture of sulfuric acid is to burn sulfur (formula, Sa) in air to form a colorless gas with a choking odor. The name of the gas is sulfur dioxide and it has the molecular formula S02. On the basis of this information ... 

Activating groups at the 5-position led to high yields when bromination took place in chloroform or acetic acid. Products obtained were the 4-bromo derivatives of 5-amino- (90%), 5-hydroxy- (95%), and 5-methoxy-benzisothiazole (40%). Use of the bromine-sulfuric acid-silver sulfate system raised the yield of the last-named product to 87% [80JCR(S)197], 7-Amino-4-chloro-l,2-benzisothiazole was brominated in the 6-position [71JCS(C)3994],... 

Tank formation means that the cured positive and negative raw plates are inserted alternately in special tanks filled with fairly dilute sulfuric acid (generally in the range 1.1 to 1.15gcm 3) and positive and negative plates are connected, a number of each, in parallel with a rectifier. The formation process means that the active material of the plates is electrochemically transformed into the final stage, namely ... 

Pyroxalam. The name given by Uchatius in the 1830 s to a white powder obtained by nitrating starch with a mixt of nitric and sulfuric acids, and which contained about 11.1% N. It was Nitrostarch (see in this Vol) with the formula C2 4H320l2(0N02)8, and closely resembled a product previously prepd (1832) by Braconnot by treating starch with neat coned nitric acid Ref Daniel (1902), 459, under Nitramidon... 

As described more fully in Sections 3.1-3.3, with increasing pH the reactive forms of the diazotizing agent are converted into ineffective ones, namely free nitrous acid, HN02, and the nitrite ion, N02. From the discussion of the mechanism of diazotization it will also become apparent why the reaction proceeds better, that is faster, in dilute hydrochloric than in dilute sulfuric acid. With very slow diazotizations for instance, because of high dilution as in nitrite titrations, the use... 

There are actually three reactions called by the name Schmidt reaction, involving the addition of hydrazoic acid to carboxylic acids, aldehydes and ketones, and alcohols and alkenes. The most common is the reaction with carboxylic acids, illustrated above.Sulfuric acid is the most common catalyst, but Lewis acids have also been used. Good results are obtained for aliphatic R, especially for long chains. When R is aryl, the yields are variable, being best for sterically hindered compounds like mesi-toic acid. This method has the advantage over 18-13 and 18-14 that it is just one laboratory step from the acid to the amine, but conditions are more drastic. Under the acid conditions employed, the isocyanate is virtually never isolated.
