What is the equation for the oxidation of ethanoic anhydride by potassium permanganate?
Ethanoic anhydride can no longer be oxidized by any oxidizing agent.
How does ethanoic anhydride undergo dehydration?
Ethanoic anhydride cannot be dehydrated any further as it is already the dehydrated form of Ethanoic acid. You can remove water from Ethanoic acid by using Concentrated H2SO4.
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 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.
Does ethanoic acid soluble in water and sodium hydroxide?
Ethanoic acid is fully soluble in water, but it will react with sodium hydroxide.
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)
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.
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.
Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?
Yes, ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is more soluble in water than hexanoic acid. This is because ethanoic acid is a smaller molecule with a polar carbonyl group, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules more easily compared to hexanoic acid.
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.
Why is ethanoic acid insoluble in water?
Ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is soluble in water because it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve. Ethanoic acid is a polar molecule due to its carbonyl group, allowing it to interact with the polar water molecules.
Is ethanoic acid soluble in sodium hydroxide?
Yes, ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is soluble in sodium hydroxide. When acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium acetate and water. Sodium acetate is a water-soluble salt, hence leading to the solubility of acetic acid in sodium hydroxide.
