Water with carbon dioxide

A carbonated beverage is made by saturating water with carbon dioxide at 0°C and a pressure of 3.0 atm. The bottle is then opened at room temperature (25°C), and comes to equilibrium with air in the room containing... 

Unfortunately, most of Kitaibel s work was never published, but his manuscripts preserved at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest show that he was an ingenious designer of chemical apparatus, such as a salt-evaporating pan which utilized the heat of the fuel gas on the countercurrent principle a device for the saturation of mineral water with carbon dioxide apparatuses for vacuum filtration and for the distillation of water and an improved lime kiln and brick kiln (12). 

D-glucose yields 67 g of D-fructose and 10 g of D-glucose. After isomerization, the pH of the solution is so adjusted as to cause precipitation of aluminum hydroxide, and the D-fructose is isolated by precipitation as its calcium complex, from which a solution of pure D-fructose is obtained by treatment of a slurry of the complex27 in water with carbon dioxide. 

Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the reaction of water with carbon dioxide to generate carbonic acid. The catalysis can be extremely fast molecules of some carbonic anhydrases hydrate carbon dioxide at rates as high as 1 million times per second. A tightly bound zinc ion is a crucial component of the active sites of these enzymes. Each zinc ion binds a water molecule and promotes its deprotonation to generate a hydroxide ion at neutral pH. This hydroxide attacks carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate ion, HCO3 ". Because of the physiological roles of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ions, speed is of the essence for this enzyme. To overcome limitations imposed by the rate of proton transfer from the zinc-bound water molecule, the most active carbonic anhydrases have evolved a proton shuttle to transfer protons to a buffer. 

Dialkyl carbonates were prepared by reacting alcohols or water with carbon dioxide in the presence of DBU, followed by alkylation (82JAP(K)58645). 

It is not necessary to speak of negative logarithms to the base ten . It is more important to understand that the dilution of an acid by 1 10 results in an increase of the pH value by 1 (see E7.12). That also means, that the pH value 4 of mineral water correlates to a concentration of H30 + (aq) ions of 10-4 mol/1 the mineral water therefore shows a minimal acidic effect. If one takes the 10-1 molar hydrochloric acid solution in the laboratory and wants to have the same pH 4 solution, one has to dilute this hydrochloric acid to the factor of 1 1000 (see E7.12). Should the pH value 6 of rain water be simulated (rain water is slightly acidic through the reaction of water with carbon dioxide in the air), then 1 ml 10 1 molar hydrochloric acid has to be further diluted with distilled water to 100 1 (volume of a bathtub). 

Hydrogen peroxide was mixed with acidified potassium iodide in air-free water with carbon dioxide bubbling through, and a known amount of thiosulphate solution and starch added. The time for the appearance of a blue colour (showing that all the thiosulphate was used up) was found. Then another portion of thiosulphate was added and the process repeated, and so on. In presence of a large excess of iodide, the reaction was found to be of the first order in respect of the hydrogen peroxide. 

To insure complete equilibration the tube must have a volume not larger than 1 ml. using the quantities given. If heated above 170°C. it should be subsequently heated at a lower temperature for several hours to equilibrate the water with carbon dioxide. If used with care, this method gives analyses accurate to 1% (Grunwald et al., 1957). 

The white solid oxides MjO and M 0 are formed by direct union of the elements. The oxides MjO and the oxides M"0 of calcium down to radium have ionic lattices and are all highly basic they react exothermically with water to give the hydroxides, with acids to give salts, and with carbon dioxide to give carbonates. For example... 

Oxidation of 10-undecynoic acid to sebacic acid. Dissolve 2 00 g. of the acid, m.p. 41-42°, in 50 ml. of water containing 0 -585 g. of pure anhydrous sodium carbonate. Saturate the solution with carbon dioxide and add O IN potassium permanganate solution (about 1500 ml.) slowly and with constant stirring until the pink colour remains for half an hour the addition occupies about 3 hours. Decolourise the solution with a httle sulphur dioxide and filter off the precipitated acid through a... 

Veratronitrile, Dissolve 83 g. of veratraldehyde in 200 ml. of warm rectified spirit in a 1 litre bolt-head flask, and add a warm solution of 42 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 50 ml. of water. Mix thoroughly and run in a solution of 30 g. of sodium hydroxide in 40 ml. of water. Allow the mixture to stand for 2-5 hours, add 250 g. of crushed ice, and saturate the solution with carbon dioxide. The aldoxime separates as an oil allow the mixture to stand for 12-24 hours in an ice chest or refrigerator when the oil will sohdify. Filter off the crystalline aldoxime at the pump, wash well with cold water, and dry in the air upon filter paper. The yield of veratraldoxime is 88 g. 

To hydrolyse an ester of a phenol (e.g., phenyl acetate), proceed as above but cool the alkaline reaction mixture and treat it with carbon dioxide until saturated (sohd carbon dioxide may also be used). Whether a solid phenol separates or not, remove it by extraction with ether. Acidify the aqueous bicarbonate solution with dilute sulphuric acid and isolate the acid as detailed for the ester of an alcohol. An alternative method, which is not so time-consuming, may be employed. Cool the alkaline reaction mixture in ice water, and add dilute sulphuric acid with stirring until the solution is acidic to Congo red paper and the acid, if aromatic or otherwise insoluble in the medium, commences to separate as a faint but permanent precipitate. Now add 5 per cent, sodium carbonate solution with vigorous stirring until the solution is alkaline to litmus paper and the precipitate redissolves completely. Remove the phenol by extraction with ether. Acidify the residual aqueous solution and investigate the organic acid as above. 

The solubility of the carbonate in water containing carbon dioxide causes the formation of caves with stalagtites and stalagmites and is responsible for hardness in water. Other important compounds are the carbide, chloride, cyanamide, hypochlorite, nitrate, and sulfide. 

Sodium acetate reacts with carbon dioxide in aqueous solution to produce acetic anhydride and sodium bicarbonate (49). Under suitable conditions, the sodium bicarbonate precipitates and can be removed by centrifugal separation. Presumably, the cold water solution can be extracted with an organic solvent, eg, chloroform or ethyl acetate, to furnish acetic anhydride. The half-life of aqueous acetic anhydride at 19°C is said to be no more than 1 h (2) and some other data suggests a 6 min half-life at 20°C (50). The free energy of acetic anhydride hydrolysis is given as —65.7 kJ/mol (—15.7 kcal/mol) (51) in water. In wet chloroform, an extractant for anhydride, the free energy of hydrolysis is strangely much lower, —50.0 kJ/mol (—12.0 kcal/mol) (51). Half-life of anhydride in moist chloroform maybe as much as 120 min. Ethyl acetate, chloroform, isooctane, and / -octane may have promise for extraction of acetic anhydride. Benzene extracts acetic anhydride from acetic acid—water solutions (52). 

In the commonly used Welland process, calcium cyanamide, made from calcium carbonate, is converted to cyanamide by reaction with carbon dioxide and water. Dicyandiamide is fused with ammonium nitrate to form guanidine nitrate. Dehydration with 96% sulfuric acid gives nitroguanidine which is precipitated by dilution. In the aqueous fusion process, calcium cyanamide is fused with ammonium nitrate ia the presence of some water. The calcium nitrate produced is removed by precipitation with ammonium carbonate or carbon dioxide. The filtrate contains the guanidine nitrate that is recovered by vacuum evaporation and converted to nitroguanidine. Both operations can be mn on a continuous basis (see Cyanamides). In the Marquerol and Loriette process, nitroguanidine is obtained directly ia about 90% yield from dicyandiamide by reaction with sulfuric acid to form guanidine sulfate followed by direct nitration with nitric acid (169—172). 

The carboaylatioa of methanol to give formic acid is carried out ia the Hquid phase with the aid of a basic catalyst such as sodium methoxide. It is important to minimi2e the presence of water and carbon dioxide ia the startiag materials, as these cause deactivatioa of the catalyst. The reactioa is an equHibrium, and elevated pressures are necessary to give good conversions. Typical reaction conditions appear to be 80°C, 4.5 MPa (44 atm) pressure and 2.5% w/w of catalyst. Under these conditions the methanol conversion is around 30% (25). 

Lithium Oxide. Lithium oxide [12057-24-8], Li20, can be prepared by heating very pure lithium hydroxide to about 800°C under vacuum or by thermal decomposition of the peroxide (67). Lithium oxide is very reactive with carbon dioxide or water. It has been considered as a potential high temperature neutron target for tritium production (68). 

Benzenetetrol. 1,2,3,5-Tetrahydroxybenzene (64) forms needles (mp 165°C) from water. The compound is easily soluble ia water, alcohol, and ethyl acetate and is iasoluble ia chloroform and benzene. In aqueous potassium bicarbonate solution sparged with carbon dioxide,... 

First Carbonation. The process stream OH is raised to 3.0 with carbon dioxide. Juice is recycled either internally or in a separate vessel to provide seed for calcium carbonate growth. Retention time is 15—20 min at 80—85°C. OH of the juice purification process streams is more descriptive than pH for two reasons first, all of the important solution chemistry depends on reactions of the hydroxyl ion rather than of the hydrogen ion and second, the nature of the C0 2 U20-Ca " equiUbria results in a OH which is independent of the temperature of the solution. AH of the temperature effects on the dissociation constant of water are reflected by the pH. 

The pH is measured colorimetricaHy with phenol red indicator. High FAC causes lower pH rea dings due to bleaching of the indicator and resultant HCl formation. The pH of pool water is readily controlled with inexpensive chemicals. Hydrochloric acid solution or sodium bisulfate lower it, whereas sodium carbonate raises it. Since acid addition neutralizes a portion of the alkalinity, this must be replenished if the alkalinity drops below the minimum. By contrast, pH adjustment with carbon dioxide does not affect alkalinity. 

Butylenes are not toxic. The effect of long-term exposure is not known, hence, they should be handled with care. Reference 96 Hsts air and water pollution factors and biological effects. They are volatile and asphyxiants. Care should be taken to avoid spills because they are extremely flammable. Physical handling requires adequate ventilation to prevent high concentrations of butylenes in the air. Explosive limits in air are 1.6 to 9.7% of butylenes. Their flash points range from —80 to —73° C. Their autoignition is around 324 to 465°C (Table 2). Water and carbon dioxide extinguishers can be used in case of fire.
