Is the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride exothermic?
A reaction between an alcohol and an anhydrid is usually exothermic, so I would say it is.
What would be best for disposing of maleic anhydride?
Put the maleic anhydride into the appropriately marked hazardous waste container.
What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
Is phthalic anhydride is soluble in methanol?
Phthalic anhydride is slightly soluble in methanol. But beware! In this case, phthalic anhydride will actually react with its solvent. This is called estrification of the anhydride. Methanol will break the ring of Phthalic anhydride and make an ester. C6H4(CO)2O + CH3OH --> C6H4(CO2H)(CO2CH3) Similarly, you might THINK Phthalic anhydride is soluble in water, but it actually reacts with water to make phthalic acid. If you want to make a true solution of phthalic anhydride, I would recommend acetone, or methylethyl ketone.
Is maleic anhydride an aromatic ring?
If maleic anhydride were planar, then it would actually be ANTIaromatic, because one of the lone pairs on the cyclic oxygen would participate in the cyclic pi-bonding. For this reason, maleic anhydride is NOT planar. The cyclic oxygen actually sticks out about .3 Angstroms, which breaks antiaromaticity. So, short answer: no.
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen carbonate?
This is the parent acid of the anhydride CO2 --> finding the anhydride of a parent acid can be found by subtracting an H2O molecule from it (and vice versa to determine the parent acid of an anhydride)
Side reaction for syclopentadiene with maleic anhydride?
Side reactions would be the reaction of cyclopentadiene with itself (dimerization) into dicyclopentadiene, as well as the formation of the exo-product along with the usual endo-product (cis-norbornene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride).
What reaction would occur if toulene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene?
I'm doing the same problem..are u in my chm206 lab? lol anyway..maleic anhydride reacts with water from the toluene to form maleic acid.
What effect would the addition of a strong acid HCl have on the reaction of p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride?
An amino group is more basic than a hydroxy group. The amine on p-aminophenol would be protonated, so it would no longer be nucleophilic. That leaves the hydroxy group as the only nucleophile that could attack the acetic anhydride. The major product is p-aminophenyl acetate.
What would happen if the sulfuric acid was left out in the reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid to prepare acetylsalicylic acid?
Because Salicylic Acid reacts with Acetic Anhydride in the presence of H2SO4 and CH3COOH to give Aspirin. The sulphuric acid does not react. If you measure the volume/weight of the acid before the reaction and after the reaction, there will be no change. Note:-You can also use Acetyl Chloride in the presence of phosphoric acid instead on Acetic Anhydride.
What is another word for containing water chemically?
If you mean a compound containing water, the term would be hydrous or hydride, the same material without water would be "anhydrous" or "anhydride" Hope that helps
Which of the two functional groups present in p-aminophenol would react first with acetic anhydride and why?
The NH group because N is more nucleophilic than O
