Yes, it sometimes can catalyze esterification and nitration reactions
Acts as the dehydrating agent (catalyst).
The ingredients needed to produce aspirin are salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Acetic acid is also produced as a byproduct during the chemical reaction.
Zinc oxide cannot be used with sulphuric acid to prepare zinc sulphate. This is because zinc oxide is insoluble in sulphuric acid, and therefore, it would not react to form zinc sulphate.
The catalyst commonly used in making polyesters is an esterification catalyst, such as an acid catalyst like sulfuric acid or an organic acid like p-toluenesulfonic acid. These catalysts help facilitate the reaction between the diol and the dicarboxylic acid to form the polyester polymer.
Sulphuric acid + Zinc ----> Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen H2SO4 + Zn ----> ZnSO4 + H2 (no balancing needed)
The catalyst used for making sulphuric acid is vanadium pentoxide (V2O5). It helps to speed up the reaction between sulfur dioxide and oxygen to form sulfur trioxide, which is a crucial step in the production of sulphuric acid.
Acts as the dehydrating agent (catalyst).
To act as a catalyst
Sulphuric acid can act as a catalyst in some organic reactions. It is often used in esterification reactions to help drive the reaction forward by protonating the reacting species and increasing their reactivity.
The valency for sulphuric acid is H2SO4
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is commonly used as a catalyst in the manufacture of sulfuric acid by the contact process. It helps to speed up the reaction of sulfur dioxide with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, which is then converted into sulfuric acid.
No, sulphuric acid is not found in vinegar.
No. It is a mixture of sulphuric acid and water.
Fertilisers contain Sulphuric acid.
There are many different concentrations of "concentrated sulphuric acid". It is possible to deduce the concentration of the sulphuric acid by titration.
Yes. Sulphuric acid is british
You can use either the nitric or hydrochloric acid as a replacement of the sulphuric acid.
