Is vinegar stronger than carbonic acid-?
Vinegar contains acetic acid, which is chemically a 'stronger' acid than carbonic acid. hence making it stronger than carbonic acid.
Is hydrochloric acid stronger or acetic acid?
hydrochloric acid is stronger than acetic acid
Is acetic acid or nitric acid stronger?
Nitric acid is stronger than acetic acid.
Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?
Phenol has a higher boiling point than alcohol does; it has a stronger dipole difference in its -OH group.
Why is the boiling point of phenol greater than alcohol?
This is because the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of phenol together are stronger than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of alcohol together.
Compare the reactivity between ethanol and phenol?
Reactivity in general between the two is quite difficult to compare since the aromatic ring of phenol is able to undergo reactions which ethanol isn't and vice versa. However, there are a number of reactions which can be compared. The first of these is deprotonation, affecting the acidity of the alcohol. Since the subsequent negative charge on the oxygen is stabilised over the benzene ring, phenol is significantly more acid than ethanol (about 100,000 times). Nuclephilic substitution with the alcohol as the nucleophile is likely to be slightly quicker using phenol due to this easier deprotonation creating a stronger nucleophile than the ethanol. Another common reaction is nucleophilic substitution with the alcohol as the electrophile, which occurs fairly easily to ethanol in the presence of an acid. Phenol however, due to its ring, cannot easily react in the same way.
Which is more polar phenol or ethanol?
Yes , phenol is more polar than toluene. because ph-OH has more dipole moment than Ph-CH3
Is vinegar stronger than carbonic acid-?
Vinegar contains acetic acid, which is chemically a 'stronger' acid than carbonic acid. hence making it stronger than carbonic acid.
Suggest a chemical test(s) to distinguish ethanol and phenol. Include the reagents reaction conditions and observations. And the equation?
Phenol solution, or phenol directly from the manufacturer?If the phenol is in the form it comes in from the factory, no chemical test is necessary. Phenol is a white crystalline solid.If it's dissolved in water, the easiest test is pH. Phenol solution is more acidic than ethanol. So...whatever you use for a pH test will do ya.
Is saliva stronger than acid?
If it is stronger than hydrochloric acid it will dissolve your tongue!
Is acetic acid or nitric acid stronger?
Nitric acid is stronger than acetic acid.
Is hydrochloric acid stronger or acetic acid?
hydrochloric acid is stronger than acetic acid
Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?
Phenol has a higher boiling point than alcohol does; it has a stronger dipole difference in its -OH group.
Among sulfuric acid and oleum which is the strong acid?
Oleum is more stronger acid than Sulfuric acid
Why is the boiling point of phenol greater than alcohol?
This is because the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of phenol together are stronger than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of alcohol together.
Is an acid with a small Ka stronger than an acid with a large Ka?
No. An acid with a large Ka is stronger. A lower pKa indicates a stronger acid.
Is ethanoic stronger than hydrochloric?
Ethanoic acid (acetic acid) is a weak acid and hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid. So, ethanoic acid is NOT stronger than hydrochloric acid.
