Best Answer

The crude product is contaminated with water, unreacted alcohol, and some side products. Using sodium carbonate solution removes traces of acid

What short chemical test could you make on the product to indicate whether cyclohexene is present or absent?

Addition of aqueous bromine can test the solution for the presence of an alkene (cyclohexene).


What is the product of chlorocyclohexane and sodium hydroxide?

Cyclohexanol and cyclohexene are the products.


When H2CO3 is formed does it cause a gas?

Yes. It is formed by reacting an aqueous acid with a carbonate ion in aqueous solution. This yields a salt and H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Carbonic acid is very unstable. It decomposes into water and CO2. Thus product of any acid and carbonate ion yields water, a salt, and carbon dioxide.

A precipitation reaction is a reaction between two aqueous solutions that results in the formation of a compound. Answer?

A precipitation reaction contains two aqueous reactants, one aqueous product, and one solid product. A precipitation reaction will produce an insoluble product.

How do you make hydrogen carbonate?

One of the common ways would be bubbling a gas containing carbon dioxide through an aqueous solution of a fairly weak base, such as ammonia. Ammonium hydrogen carbonate would be formed in the solution and could be recovered from solution. (If a strong base such as sodium hydroxide were to be used, the product would be a metal carbonate rather than a hydrogen carbonate, unless special reaction conditions, for example, very fast stirring with limited amounts of the strong base added slowly were maintained to prevent the formation of the full carbonate.)


What solid product does calcium chloride and sodium carbonate give?

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is insoluble in water.
