Yes.
^ Well to improve on this, in simple terms. A catalyst is something that brings on the reaction, in this case the liquid catalyst can only contain a little amount of water otherwise side reactions will occur and this would impact (reduce) the yield of aspirin - not good, sulfuric acid is usually used because it is 98% pure, phosphoric acid can also be used but it is only about 85% pure, still OK. HCL in its most concentrated form is only 37% pure and there fore no good at all.
In a shorter to the point answer, H2SO4 is a pure catalyst which will give you a close to accurate yield of aspirin.
It is an acid catalyst and a dehydrant.
It is also hygroscopic and absorbs water.
(Water is released in the synthesis of aspirin)
Sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and dehydrant. It is also serves as a source of protons during the esterification of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride.
Sulphuric acid is used as a catalyst in the preparation of aspirin.
The role of sulphuric acid in the synthesis of aspirin is of a catalyst, and it is also a source of protons for carrying out the esterification of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride.
The usual use of sulfuric acid in organic reactions is to promote dehydration reactions.
It's a catalyst!
no
Aspirin is made when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst such as H2SO4. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid is formed. The reaction is an esterification reaction.
No, It is acetyl salicylic acid. Common acids are H2SO4, HCl, HNO3...etc. Jigar Modi
how 2.5N H2SO4 prepared from concentrated H2SO4
The ratio of H2SO4 to WHAT!
9.62 Mol H2SO4 ( 6.022 X 10^23/1mol H2SO4 ) = 5.79 X 10^24 molecules of H2SO4
There is hydrogen bonding between H2SO4 molecules. Hence it has a associatedstructureand due to this H2SO4 is viscous.
H2SO4 is sulfuric acid
what information do you get from the formula h2SO4
No, H2SO4 is an electrolyte, as it produces hydronium ions in aqueous solution.
H2SO4 is sulphuric acid To find out more about his material go to the related link(H2SO4) below
H2SO4 is a strong acid known as sulfuric acid
If you are asking what percent of H2SO4 that you have, I would need to know that volume of the 5M H2SO4
