What happen when ethanoic acid is heated with p2o5?
When ethanoic acid is heated with P2O5, it will undergo dehydration reaction to form acetic anhydride. The P2O5 serves as a dehydrating agent by removing water molecules from the ethanoic acid molecule, resulting in the formation of acetic anhydride.
What is the equation for the oxidation of ethanoic anhydride by potassium permanganate?
Ethanoic anhydride can no longer be oxidized by any oxidizing agent.
Is ethanoic an-hydride soluble?
Yes ethanoic (acid) anhydride is soluble in WATER but at first it reacts (hydrolysis) heavily and exothermic with water.
What prodduct would you expect to be formed when a molecule of water is eliminated from ethanoic acid?
When ethanoic acid gets dehydrated, ethanoic anhydride is formed. The formula is (CH3 CO)2O.
What are the impurity in aspirin synthesis?
The main impurties are probably the unreacted reactants. i.e salicylic acid and some acetic anhydride (ethanoic anhydride)
What are the compound names for salicylic acid and acetic anhydride?
Your question has the names right in it. Maybe it's the chemical formulas you want. In that case, salicylic acid is C7H6O3 and acetic anhydride is C4H6O3.
Which acid does not form anhydride on heating?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) does not form an anhydride on heating. Anhydrides are typically formed from the dehydration of organic acids like carboxylic acids when heated. Hydrochloric acid is an inorganic acid and does not have the necessary functional groups to undergo this type of reaction.
What is the function of the condenser used in reflux apparatus in the preparation of aspirin?
upon heating, ethanoic anhydride turns into a gas. this would then leave the reflux apparatus. the role of the condenser is to condense this gaseous ethanoic anhydride back into a liquid, so that it will run back into the reacting mixture and will react with the 2-hydroxybenzoic acid to form aspirin. this will result in a higher yeild of aspirin.
What is an alternative reagent to ethanoic anhydride in the synthesis of aspirin from salicylic acid?
Synthesis of acetyl chloride via the reaction of acetic acid with sulphuric acid
How can we react dehydrating agent with acetic acid?
Dehydration of acetic acid to prepare acetic anhydride occur at 8oo oC.
What is the mechanism of synthesis of fluorescein by using pthalic anhydride resorcinol and zinc chloride?
Fluorescein is synthesized by heating phthalic anhydride and resorcinol in the presence of zinc chloride catalyst. The reaction involves the condensation of one molecule of phthalic anhydride and two molecules of resorcinol to form fluorescein. Zinc chloride acts as a Lewis acid catalyst, facilitating the reaction by promoting the dehydration and cyclization steps.
What happen to monomers when they undergo dehydration sythesis?
They form long chain- like molecules
