Two acids

The virial equation is appropriate for describing deviations from ideality in those systems where moderate attractive forces yield fugacity coefficients not far removed from unity. The systems shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4 are of this type. However, in systems containing carboxylic acids, there prevails an entirely different physical situation since two acid molecules tend to form a pair of stable hydrogen bonds, large negative... 

The mixture of the two acids (now much richer in bromine than the sea water) is then treated with chlorine again, and bromine... 

Chlorine, bromine and iodine form halic(V) acids but only iodic(V) acid, HIO3, can be isolated. Solutions of the chloric) V) and bromic) V) acids can be prepared by the addition of dilute sulphuric acid to barium chlorate(V) and bromate(V) respectively, and then filtering (cf. the preparation of hydrogen peroxide). These two acids can also be prepared by decomposing the corresponding halic(I) acids, but in this case the halide ion is also present in the solution. 

Record the Rp values of the two acids under the above conditions the anthranilic and the N-methylanthranilic acid should have Rp values of 0-28 and 0 55 respectively. 

Acid Anhydrides. Symmetrical anhydrides of monocarboxylic acids, when unsubstituted, are named by replacing the word acid by anhydride. Anhydrides of substituted monocarboxylic acids, if symmetrically substituted, are named by prefixing bis- to the name of the acid and replacing the word acid by anhydride. Mixed anhydrides are named by giving in alphabetical order the first part of the names of the two acids followed by the word anhydride, e.g., acetic propionic anhydride or acetic propanoic anhydride. Cyclic anhydrides of polycarboxylic acids, although possessing a... 

Maleic anhydride [108-31 -6] (1), maleic acid [110-16-7] (2), and fumaric acid [110-17-8] (3) are multiftmctional chemical iatermediates that find appHcations in nearly every field of industrial chemistry. Each molecule contains two acid carbonyl groups and a double bond in the a, P position. Maleic anhydride and... 

Maleic and fiimaric acids have physical properties that differ due to the cis and trans configurations about the double bond. Aqueous dissociation constants and solubiUties of the two acids show variations attributable to geometric isomer effects. X-ray diffraction results for maleic acid (16) reveal an intramolecular hydrogen bond that accounts for both the ease of removal of the first carboxyl proton and the smaller dissociation constant for maleic acid compared to fumaric acid. Maleic acid isomerizes to fumaric acid with a derived heat of isomerization of —22.7 kJ/mol (—5.43 kcal/mol) (10). The activation energy for the conversion of maleic to fumaric acid is 66.1 kJ/mol (15.8 kcal/mol) (24). 

Peroxonitrite is beHeved to be present in the crystals of nitric acid trihydrate that form in the stratosphere and in Martian soil (see Extraterrestrial materials). Peroxonitrous acid may be present in mammalian blood and other biochemical systems. However, peroxonitric acid, HNO, is not known. Before the chemistry of peroxonitrous acid was understood, these two acids were sometimes confused. 

Among the properties sought in the solvent are low cost, avadabihty, stabiUty, low volatiUty at ambient temperature, limited miscibility in aqueous systems present in the process, no solvent capacity for the salts, good solvent capacity for the acids, and sufficient difference in distribution coefficient of the two acids to permit their separation in the solvent-extraction operation. Practical solvents are C, C, and alcohols. For industrial process, alcohols are the best choice (see Amyl alcohols). Small quantities of potassium nitrate continue to be produced from natural sources, eg, the caUche deposits in Chile. 

Figure 23-36 shows a computer calculation with these specific rates, but which does not agree quantitatively with the figure shown by Swern. The time scales appear to be different, but both predict a peak in the amount of oleic acid and rapid disappearance of the first two acids. 

The two acids should be mixed gradually, adding the first acid to the second with shaking. Cooling is often necessary. 

On hydrolysis by boiling aqueous solution of barium hydroxide, isatidine (p. 603) yields two acid products. Isatinedc acid, CioHigOg, m.p. 148-5°, [a]ff° + 86° (HjO), which appears to contain one ethylenic linkage, one carboxyl group and one per-carboxyl group (R. CO. O. O), the evidence for the latter being the liberation of iodine from neutral or alkaline potassium iodide solution. The second product is isatinedc monolactonic add, CiqH 405, m.p. 197-8°, + 108-8°, which contains... 

Racemic and Mesotartaric Acids.—These two acids represent two inactive types of compounds containing a< yminct7 ic carbon atoms (see above). Apart from certain well-marked differences in physical properties they also differ in one important feature racemic acid can be lesoh-ed into its optical enantiomorphs, whereas mesotartaric acid cannot. The latter belongs to what is termed the inactive indivisible type. If we examine the structuial formula of tartaric acid it will l>e seen that it possesses two asyimnetric carbon atoms, denoted in the formula by thick type. 

A frequently encountered pH-rate profile exhibits a bell-like shape or hump, with two inflection points. This graphical feature is essentially two sigmoid curves back-to-back. By analogy with the earlier analysis of the sigmoid pH-rate curve, where the shape was ascribed to an acid-base equilibrium of the substrate, we find that the bell-shaped curve can usually be accounted for in terms of two acid-base dissociations of the substrate. The substrate can be regarded, for this analysis, as a dibasic acid H2S, where the charge type is irrelevant we take the neutral molecule as an example. The acid dissociation constants are... 

The methods outlined, of course, are readily applicable to a wide variety of substituted heterocycles like the carboxyl, hydroxy and mercapto derivatives of pyridines, pyridine 1-oxides, pyrroles, etc. The application to amines and to diaza compounds such as pyrimidine, where the two centers are basic, is obvious except that now 23 takes the role of the neutral compound, 21 and 22 the roles of the tautomeric first conjugate bases, and 20 the role of the second conjugate base. Extensions to molecules with more than two acidic or basic centers, such as aminonicotinic acid, pyrimidinecarboxylic acids, etc., are obvious although they tend to become algebraically cumbersome, involving (for three centers) three measurable Kg s, four Ay s, and fifteen ideal dissociation constants (A ), a total of twenty-two constants of which seven are independent. 

The equilibrium between neutral a and zwitterionic b forms in the case of nicotinic 6 and isonicotinic 7 acids has been studied by Halle in mixtures of DMSO and water (from 0 to 100%) (Scheme 4). The position of the equilibrium is very sensitive to the composition of the solvent and for more than 80% of DMSO, the a form essentially dominates the equilibrium in solution (96CJC613). An analysis of their data shows a perfect linear relationship (r = 1) between the In Kt of the two acids and moderate linear relationships between In Kt and the percentage of DMSO. Johnston has studied the equilibrium 2-hydroxypyridine/2-pyridone in supercritical fluids (propane at 393 K and 1,1-difluoroethane at 403 K) (89JPC4297). The equilibrium constant Kt (pyridone/hydroxypyridine) increases four-fold for a pressure increase of 40 bar in 1,1-difluoroethane. 

These two acids, of the formula C HgO, are geometrical isomerides. They are both unsaturated, and belong to the aci-ylic acid series. Tiglic acid forms crystals melting at 64 5 and boiling at 198 5 , whilst angelic acid melts at 45° to 46° and boils at 185°. They have the following constitutions —... 

These two acids occur chiefly as esters in Roman chamomile oil. Tiglic acid is also found as geranyl tiglate in geranium oil. 

Most acids are corrosive to aluminium-base materials. The oxidising action of nitric acid at concentrations above about 80%, however, causes passivation of aluminium. Very dilute and very concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves aluminium only slowly. Figures 4.4 and 4.5 give corrosion data at various concentrations for these two acids. The corrosion rates of aluminium in other inorganic acids in dilute solution are shown in Fig. 4.6. Boric acid also exerts little attack on aluminium, while a mixture of chromic and phosphoric acids can be used for the quantitative removal of corrosion products from aluminium without attacking the metal. 

It was pointed out above that, if we choose any two acids at random from Table 9, we are not likely to find any correlation between the position of the maximum of K and the value of K itself. But this would not be true, if we compare two acids, paying due regard to the probable value of J non. Three dissociation constants in Table 9 have values smaller than 10 7 and in all three cases the value of 0 falls above 40°. This is doubtless because, in aqueous solution, such a low degree of... 

Strategy In comparing two acids, the one with the lower pKz is stronger. Thus, water is a stronger acid than acetylene and gives up H+ more easily. 

Unsymmetrical anhydrides—those prepared from two different carboxylic acids—are named by citing the two acids alphabetically and then adding anhydride. 

Ethyl 3-oxobutanoate, commonly called ethyl acetoacetate or ace tome tic ester, is much like malonic ester in that its ct hydrogens are flanked by two carbonyl groups. It is therefore readily converted into its enolate ion, which can be alkylated by reaction with an alkyl halide. A second alkylation can also be carried out if desired, since acetoacetic ester has two acidic a hydrogens.
