Sodium Hyponitrite
Sodium hyponitrite is a solid ionic compound with formula or ()2[ON=NO]2−.Egon Wiberg, Arnold Frederick Holleman (2001) ''Inorganic Chemistry'', Elsevier There are ''cis'' and ''trans'' forms of the hyponitrite ion . The ''trans'' form is more common, but the ''cis'' form can be obtained too, and it is more reactive than the ''trans'' form. ''Trans'' isomer The ''trans'' isomer is colorless and soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol and diethyl ether, ether.Trambaklal Mohanlal Oza, Rajnikant Hariprasad Thaker (1955), "The Thermal Decomposition of Silver Hyponitrite". Journal of the American Chemical society, volume 77, issue 19, pages 4976–4980. Preparation Sodium hyponitrite (''trans'') is conventionally prepared by reduction (chemistry), reduction of sodium nitrite with sodium amalgam. :2 NaNO2 + 4 Na(Hg) + 2 H2O → Na2N2O2 + 4 NaOH + 4 Hg Sodium hyponitrite (''trans'') was prepared in 1927 by A. W. Scott by reacting alkyl nitrites, hydroxylammonium chloride, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ethanol
Ethanol (abbr. EtOH; also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic compound. It is an Alcohol (chemistry), alcohol with the chemical formula . Its formula can be also written as or (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group). Ethanol is a Volatility (chemistry), volatile, Combustibility and flammability, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like odor and pungent taste. It is a psychoactive recreational drug, the active ingredient in alcoholic drinks. Ethanol is naturally produced by the fermentation process of Carbohydrate, sugars by yeasts or via Petrochemistry, petrochemical processes such as ethylene hydration. It has medical applications as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It is used as a chemical solvent and in the Chemical synthesis, synthesis of organic compounds, and as a Alcohol fuel, fuel source. Ethanol also can be dehydrated to make ethylene, an important chemical feedstock. As of 2006, world produ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
