Toluene is used as a fuel additive to increase octane ratings and as a solvent in paints, paint thinners, adhesives, inks, resins, cleaning agents and inks. It is also used in the synthesis of many organic chemicals including benzene, phenol and xylene and as a raw material in the production of explosives. Toluene is used to manufacture polymers that are used to make nylon, plastic soda bottles, and polyurethanes and for pharmaceuticals, dyes and cosmetic products. Additionally, toluene has been used in the past as a treatment for hookworms and roundworms.

Prepare O-nitrotoluene from benzene and show reactions involved?
O-Nitrotoluene can be prepared from benzene via a multistep reaction process. First, benzene is nitrated to form nitrobenzene using a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Next, nitrobenzene is methylated to form o-nitrotoluene by reacting it with methyl iodide in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide. The final product is then separated and purified using appropriate techniques.
Is benzene the same as benzoate?
No. Bensene and Benzoate are not the same. Benzene has the formula C6H6 (a ring of 6 carbons, each with a hydrogen bonded to it), and benzoate has the formula C6H5COO−. Benzoate is a benzene molecule that has a carboxylic acid group attached to it (except that the acid group is deprotonated). Benzoate is the conjugate base of benzoic acid. See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more information.
To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?
I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!
Why does benzoic acid form a dimer in benzene and not in water?
Benzene is a non polar solvent with low dielectric constant, whereas water is a polar solvent with high dielectric constant. So water can reduce the interaction between benzoic acid molecules there by preventing them from dimerizing, which cannot be done by benzene
What Aromatic Hydrocarbon has been prepared in the reaction between Sulfuric Acid and Benzene?
Benzene sulfonic acid is produced in the reaction between sulfuric acid and benzene. This reaction involves the substitution of a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a sulfonic acid group (SO3H).
What is the Sulfonation process to produce dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid?
The sulfonation process to produce dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid involves reacting dodecyl benzene with a sulfonating agent, such as sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid, to introduce a sulfonic acid group onto the benzene ring. The reaction typically takes place under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure to ensure high yield and purity of the desired product. The dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid produced is an important surfactant used in various industries.
Is benzene sulfonic acid a weak acid?
It is a strong organic acid with a pka value of -2.8 very similiar to sulfuric acid at -3.
What happens when toluene reacts with sulfuric acid?
When toluene reacts with sulfuric acid, it undergoes a sulfonation reaction to form benzene sulfonic acid. This reaction involves the substitution of a hydrogen atom in the toluene molecule with a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H). The product obtained is a benzene sulfonic acid derivative, which can be further converted into various organic compounds.
What is the chemical formula of detergent from soda ash and Alkyl benzene sulphonic acid?
The chemical formula of detergent made from soda ash (sodium carbonate) and alkyl benzene sulfonic acid typically involves a combination of these two components to form a surfactant molecule. The exact formula would depend on the specific alkyl chain length and structure of the alkyl benzene sulfonic acid used in the synthesis process.
Why benzene sulphonic acid does not react with sodium salt of benzene sulphonic acid acid?
Whenever two compounds have the same cation or same anion they can not form a new compound and therefore chemical reaction does not take place, benzene sulphonic acid and its salt have the common anion so do not react with each other.
What is a benzenesulfonic acid?
Benzenesulfonic acid is an organic compound that consists of a benzene ring with a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) attached to it. It is commonly used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. It is also used in the production of detergents, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
Is sulfonic acid a product of petroleum?
yes
What is the specific heat of linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid?
The specific heat of linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is approximately 0.71 J/g°C.
Is dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid an organic acid?
Yes, dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid is an organic acid as it contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. It is commonly used in household cleaning products as a surfactant.
What is the name of the H acid?
The H acid is also known as 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid.
Write a reaction showing chlorobenzene plus sulfuric acid and heat?
The reaction of chlorobenzene with sulfuric acid and heat would likely result in electrophilic aromatic substitution, with the sulfuric acid acting as a catalyst. This reaction may lead to the formation of benzene sulfonic acid as the major product. Heating the reaction mixture helps drive the reaction forward by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules involved.
