'chlor-alkali process'

When sodium, potassium or lithium is reacted with dry ethanol, the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group is replaced by the metal atom to form alkoxides. Hydrogen is liberated in the process. The reaction takes place with effervescence. This reaction also serves as an identifiction test..

Sodium hydroxide is commonly called caustic soda because of its corrosive action on animal and vegetable tissues. Large quantity of sodium hydroxide is prepared by electrolytic process called the 'Chlor-alkali process'. Here, chlorine gas is given of at the anode and ..

The digested reaction mixture, on cooling, is transferred to a round bottomed distillation flask, and distilled with a concentrated alkali solution (NaOH). Ammonia produced is absorbed in a known volume of HCl solution of a known strength...

A trihydric alcohol, glycerol is a constituent of oils and fats. Oils and fats are tri esters of long chain fatty acids. On hydrolosys in presence of an alkali, the tri esters yield glycerol and the fall of the carboxylic acid..

Propane-1,2,3-trial (Glycerol) - A trihydric alcohol, glycerol is a constituent of oils and fats. Oils and fats are tri esters of long chain fatty acids. On hydrolosys in presence of an alkali, the tri esters yield glycerol and the fall of the carboxylic acid..

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Hydrogen is also the lightest element in the universe. It has a vapour density of 1, which is 14.4 times lighter than air. Hydrogen is absent in the free state in the earth's atmosphere. But in the combined state it is found in water, a..

(alkali) combine, the positively charged hydrogen ion of the acid combines with the negatively charged hydroxyl ion of the base to form a molecule of water. Hence, the water molecule formed does not have any charge because the positive and negative charges of the hydrogen ions and hydroxy..

Ionization is the property of isolated atoms in the gaseous state. Oxidation potential is the property when the metal goes into the solution as M + ( a q ) ions: The process of oxidation potential could proceed as: The overall tendency for the change depends upon the net e..

CO 2 is prepared by heating carbonates (except Na 2 CO 3 and K 2 CO 3 ) and bicarbonates or by adding acid to carbonates which releases CO 2 . In the laboratory, CO 2 is prepared by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on marble chips. CO 2 is 1.5 times heavier than air and is slig..

Electrolytic Reduction Method - Certain metals can be obtained by affecting the reduction of the corresponding cations electrolytically. For example, sodium metal is obtained by electrolyzing molten sodium chloride. At anod..
