  2. Lucas' reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas'_reagent

    The alcohol is protonated, the H 2 O group formed leaves, forming a carbocation, and the nucleophile Cl − (which is present in excess) readily attacks the carbocation, forming the chloroalkane. Tertiary alcohols react immediately with Lucas reagent as evidenced by turbidity owing to the low solubility of the organic chloride in the aqueous ...

  3. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    The ion-permeable ion-exchange membrane at the center of the cell allows only the sodium ions (Na +) to pass to the second chamber where they react with the hydroxide ions to produce caustic soda (NaOH) (B in figure): [1] Na + + OH − → NaOH The overall reaction for the electrolysis of brine is thus: 2NaCl + 2 H 2 O → Cl 2 + H 2 + 2NaOH

  4. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    Metathesis reactions are another term for double-displacement; that is, when a cation displaces to form an ionic bond with the other anion. The cation bonded with the latter anion will dissociate and bond with the other anion. [1] A common metathesis reaction in aqueous solutions is a precipitation reaction.

  5. Sodium fusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fusion_test

    The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH.To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl.

  6. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    For example, hydrochloric acid, HCl, is a strong acid. HCl(aq) → H + (aq) + Cl − (aq) A strong base is one that is fully dissociated in aqueous solution. For example, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is a strong base. NaOH(aq) → Na + (aq) + OH − (aq) Therefore, when a strong acid reacts with a strong base the neutralization reaction can be ...

  7. Hydrogen chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_chloride

    Cl 2 + H 2 → 2 HCl. As the reaction is exothermic, the installation is called an HCl oven or HCl burner. The resulting hydrogen chloride gas is absorbed in deionized water, resulting in chemically pure hydrochloric acid. This reaction can give a very pure product, e.g. for use in the food industry. The reaction can also be triggered by blue ...

  8. Bouveault–Blanc reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouveault–Blanc_reduction

    The reaction produces sodium alkoxides, according to the following stoichiometry: RCOOR' + 6 Na + 4 CH 3 CH 2 OH → RCH 2 ONa + R'ONa + 4 CH 3 CH 2 ONa. In practice, considerable sodium is consumed by the formation of hydrogen. [citation needed] For this reason, an excess of sodium is often required. Because the hydrolysis of sodium is rapid ...

  9. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.
