Best Answer

If pure bromine is contacted with sulfuric acid, the only possible source of bromine atoms for a potential chemical product is the original bromine itself; the sulfuric acid does not contain any bromine atoms and therefore can not supply any additional atoms to make more bromine.

What was the name of this formula h2s2o7?

it is called either Pyrosulfuric Acid or Disulfuric Acid or oleam. Even though you can make sulphuric acid by combining SO3 and H20,the process is extremely dangerous.thus, SO3 is first mixed with previously made sulphuric acid. The chemical process isSO3 + H2SO4 -> H2S2O7This H2S2O7 (oleam) is diluted in water to give sulphuric acid.

How do you clean up strong acid spillages eg sulphuric acid?

Initially , water, which will dilute the acid. You can add powdered chalk , calcium carbonate'. This will neutralise the acid to its salt. e.g. H2SO4 + CaCO3(chalk) = CaSO4(salt) + H2O +CO2 Note all the acid has gone.


What do you get if you mix sodium hydroxide with sulphuric acid?

As sodium hydroxide is an alkaline and sulphuric acid is an acid; mixing the two will give a neutral substance. Just like water is neautral with a Ph balance of 7, the solution will then become neutral and balanced. Mixing any two acid and alkali together will give a neutral substance along with water.


Do alkenes react with sulphuric acid?

Alkenes react with concentrated sulphuric acid in the cold to produce alkyl hydrogensulphates. Ethene reacts to give ethyl hydrogensulphate. CH2=CH2 + H2SO4 --> CH3CH2OSO2OH The structure of the product molecule is sometimes written as CH3CH2HSO4, but the version in the equation is better because it shows how all the atoms are linked up. You may also find it written as CH3CH2OSO3H.

Why is sulphuric acid used in molisch test?

sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent.all carbohydrates are dehydrated to give dehydration products. For example, pentoses give furfural as dehydration product where as hexoses give 5-hydroxy furfural.. these are attacked by 1-napthol to give a purple coloured condensation product...
