Hydrochoric acid is more acidic than Picric acid.Added: Ka(Picric acid) = 0.38, Ka(HCl) >>1
what is the ph of tannic acid
for three electron withdrawing nitro groups, picric acid is highly acidic
do you neutralise tannic acid
Picric acid is acidic, as it has a fairly acidic phenolic proton. However, picric acid is not a carboxylic acid. Nevertheless, it is still called 'acid' because of its acidic proton, just as phenol was once called 'carbolic acid'.
Picric Acid: 1. In the First World War the treatment of burns consisted in the application of various antiseptic dressings. Picric acid in a 1 per cent aqueous solution was commonly used. 2. The treatment by picric acid carried with it some danger of absorption when used over large raw surfaces, but it was generally a very satisfactory form of treatment. 3. It controled pain and rapidly promoted healing. Tannic acid: 1. The use of tannic acid was a distinct advance in the treatment of cutaneous burns and found the care of patients relatively simple. 2. Beneficial effects: rapid alleviation of pain, lessened infection, reduced local loss of body fluids, prosperous epithelization, relative absence of contractures, and diminished scar-tissue formation. 3. Most important of all, good survival statistics were reported in several studies. In a group of 114 patients treated with tannic acid, Beekman observed a mortality rate of 14.9 percent, which was considerably lower than the death rate of 27.8 percent in the 320 patients treated otherwise. He also showed that the number of patients dying from the second to the tenth day, the period of toxemia, was strongly decreased in the tannic acid-treated group.
i truelywanna know why was picric acid used to treat burns?
Picric acid reduced pain and infection and allowed the formation of a scab under which healing took place.Using a one percent solution of picric acid, the wound was cleansed and then all blisters were pricked to release the serum (blister fluid), taking care not to remove the blister itself. The burn was covered with sterilized gauze soaked in the picric acid solution. The gauze was padded with cotton wool and held in place with a light bandage. After three or four days, the dressing was soaked off and the wound redressed.
picric acid (or 2,4,6-trinitrophenol) is more acidic than benzoic acid The pKa or picric acid is 0.3 and that of benzoic acid is 4.2
