Water strong acids mixed with

A s/cr.s possess a fruity smell and usually distil without decomposition. Boil with refltiK for 5 minutes on the water-btith a few c.c. of the licpiid with 3 to 4 volumes of a ten pei cent, solution of ctLListic potash in methyl alcohol and pour into water. Notice if the liquid dissolves and has lost the odour of the ester. An ester will be completely hydrolysed, and if the alcohol is soluble in water a clear solution will be obtained. If the alcohol is vol.atile and the solution neiitialised w ith sulphuric acid. and evaporated on the water-bath, the alkali salt of the organic acid mixed with pottissium sulphate will be left and the acid may be investigated as desciibed under 1. If it is required to. ascertain the nature of the alcohol in the ester, hydrolysis must fig effected with a strong aqueous solution of caustic potash... 

When an acidic water solution is mixed with a basic water solution, an acid-base reaction takes place. The nature of the reaction and hence the equation written for it depend on whether the add and base involved are strong or weak. 

Hydrobromic acid is a gas, transparent and colourless, fuming strongly when mixed with the air. Its Sp. G. is 2 73. It is, in smell, taste, absorbability by water, and indeed all its properties, hardly distinguishable from hydrochloric acid but chlorine decomposes it, setting free bromine. The strongest solution of the acid is a fuming liquid of Sp. G. 1 29. 

The hydrolysis by alkali is illustrated by the following experimental details for benzamido. Place 3 g. of benzamide and 50 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution in a 150 ml. conical or round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser. Boil the mixture gently for 30 minutes ammonia is freely evolved. Detach the condenser and continue the boiling in the open flask for 3-4 minutes to expel the residual ammonia. Cool the solution in ice, and add concentrated hydrochloric acid until the mixture is strongly acidic benzoic acid separates immediately. Leave the mixture in ice until cold, filter at the pump, wash with a little cold water and drain well. RecrystaUise the benzoic acid from hot water. Determine the m.p., and confirm its identity by a mixed m.p. test. 

The boric and sulfuric acids are recycled to a HBF solution by reaction with CaF2. As a strong acid, fluoroboric acid is frequently used as an acid catalyst, eg, in synthesizing mixed polyol esters (29). This process provides an inexpensive route to confectioner s hard-butter compositions which are substitutes for cocoa butter in chocolate candies (see Chocolate and cocoa). Epichlorohydrin is polymerized in the presence of HBF for eventual conversion to polyglycidyl ethers (30) (see Chlorohydrins). A more concentrated solution, 61—71% HBF, catalyzes the addition of CO and water to olefins under pressure to form neo acids (31) (see Carboxylic acids).

As already indicated, ion exchange resins are osmotic systems which swell owing to solvent being drawn into the resin. Where mixed solvent systems are used the possibility of preferential osmosis occurs and it has been shown that strongly acid cation and strongly basic anion resin phases tend to be predominantly aqueous with the ambient solution predominantly organic. This effect (preferential water sorption by the resin) increases as the dielectric constant of the organic solvent decreases. 

C06-0067. When 10.00 mL of a solution of a strong acid is mixed with 100.0 mL of a solution of a weak base in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature falls from 24.6 °C to 22.7 °C. Determine q for the acid -base reaction, assuming that the liquids have densities of 1.00 g/mL and the same heat capacity as pure water. 

Polystyrene Latexes. The polystyrene latexes used were the mono-disperse LS-1102-A, LS-1103-A, and LS-1166-B (Dow Chemical Co.) with average particle diameters of 190, 400, and llOOnm, respectively. The latexes were cleaned by ion exchange with mixed Dcwex 50W-Dowex 1 resin (9). The double-distilled and deionized (DDI) water used had a conductivity of 4x10 ohm- cm-. The surface groups of the ion-exchanged latexes determined by conductometric titration (10) were strong-acid sulfates the surface charge densities were 1.35, 3.00 and 5.95 jiC/cm, respectively.
