What else can I help you with?
Why is acid alcohol rather than ethyl alcohol used as a decolorizing agent in the acid fast staining experiment?
Alcohol is a term used for any O-H group that is attached to a carbon. Perhapes the alcohol is found in a Safranin stain. I hope I have this right but if alcohol was used as the decolorizing agent, it may wash out too much stain to get a good view in an oil emersion microscope.
Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
What is the decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain?
The decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain is acid alcohol. The decolorizing agent in the gram stain is ethanol.
What ester forms when ethyl alcohol and formic acid react?
The products from the reaction of n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid are ethyl pentanoate (an ester) and water. CH3COOH + CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O acetic acid + n-amyl alcohol ==> ethyl propanoate + water
2 types of fermentation?
Two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcohol fermentation is the process in which 2 pyruvate molecules ,created by the means of glycosis, is further broken down into 2 ethanol molecules through alcohol fermentation. Lactic-acid fermentation is when the pyruvate molecules formed from glycosis is reduced to 2 lactate molecules.
What ester is formed when isopropyl alcohol and butyric acid react?
Isopropyl butyrate (or isopropyl butanoate under IUPAC).
WHAT IS THE OXIDATION PRODUCT OF 2-BUTANOL?
Butan-1-ol, which is a primary alcohol, will be oxidised to butanoic acid. Butan-2-ol, which is a secondary alcohol, will be oxidised to butanone.
Isopropyl alcohol plus cinnamic acid yield what ester?
Isopropyl cinnamate is the ester produced when isopropyl alcohol is reacted with cinnamic acid. This reaction typically involves an acid-catalyzed esterification process.
Out of ammonia battery acid isopropyl alcohol and water which has a higher pH?
Ammonia has a higher pH compared to battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Ammonia is a base with a pH usually above 11, while battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water are either neutral or acidic in nature.
Is Butyl Alcohol a reactants used to make methyl butyrate?
the reactants are methanol and butyric acid
What are the differences between isopropyl myristate and isopropyl alcohol in terms of their properties and uses?
Isopropyl myristate is an ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, while isopropyl alcohol is a simple alcohol. Isopropyl myristate is commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products as an emollient and thickening agent, while isopropyl alcohol is primarily used as a disinfectant and solvent. Isopropyl myristate is non-drying and can leave a greasy residue, while isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves no residue.
What ester is formed when isobutyl and butyric acid reats?
Isobutyl butyrate is formed when isobutyl alcohol reacts with butyric acid. This ester has a fruity odor and is commonly used in the food and fragrance industries.
Is rubbing alcohol a acid?
Rubbing alcohol is not an acid; it is actually an alcohol. Specifically, rubbing alcohol is typically composed of isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol).
Is phenyl acetate or butyric acid more polar?
Phenyl acetate is less polar than butyric acid. This is because butyric acid has more polar functional groups present (carboxylic acid) compared to phenyl acetate (ester).
Which one is more polar naphthalene or butyric acid?
butyric acid is more polar
What is the chemical formula for butyric acid?
C4H8O2 , CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butyric acid and CH3-CH(CH3)-COOH isobutyric acid.
What is the composition of butyric acid?
Butyric acid is also known as butanoic acid. It is a four carbon acid with a composition of CH3CH2CH2COOH. It is an acid which has an unpleasant smell.
