How do you get Acetic anhydride?

As an anhydride, It can be prepared by dehydrating its acid, i.e. Acetic acid, by strong dessicant such as Tetraphosphorus decaoxide(P4O10) :P4O10 + 12 CH3COOH ----> 4 H3PO4 + 6(CH3CO)2O


What is the difference between a concentrated acid and strong acid?

Concentrated acid means there's a lot of it; that is, a high concentration. By convention, "concentrated" means "straight out of the stock bottle," for some acids this is nearly pure and for others it's not (phosphoric acid is typically supplied as a solution that's about 70% w/w phosphoric acid, for example). Lab bottles labeled "dilute" usually contain a 6M solution unless otherwise specified. Strong acid means that it fully dissociates in water (at least the first proton, for multiprotic acids). Strong/weak and concentrated/dilute are completely different scales that have nothing to do with each other. * 18.3M sulfuric acid is strong and concentrated * 6M sulfuric acid is strong and dilute * Glacial acetic acid is weak and concentrated * 6M acetic acid is weak and dilute


If zinc is first added to dilute sulfuric acid then concentrated sulfuric acid and acetic acid in which case will the fizzing be most and least?

The most fizzing will come from the concentrated sulfuric acid, then dilute sulfuric acid, then the acetic acid.The amount of fizzing is due to the concentration of H+ in the solution, and concentrated sulfuric acid has the most H+ in solution. The dilute sulfuric acid has less (because it is dilute) and the acetic acid solution has the least of all because it is a weak acid rather than a strong acid.See the Related Questions for more information.


How do you convert benzaldehyde into phenyl acetic acid?

1.First add CH3-MgCl(Grinard). 2.Then and dilute acid or water. 3.Then add Concentrated H2SO4 and heat above 170 degrees celcius. 4.Then add HBr or HCl or HI. 5.Then add dilute KOH or NaOH. 6.Then add Hot concentrated KMNO4.

What is the difference between glacial Acetic acid and acetic acid one - five percent solution?

Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid at approximately 95% acetic acid with 5% water by volume. 1-5% acetic acid is very weak, being composed of 95-99% water. For reference, glacial acetic acid can only be purchased through commercial suppliers with a valid reason to acquire it while household vinegar is generally a 2-3% acetic acid solution and available in every grocery store.
