Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents. Illustrative is the conversion of sodium perrhenate to the tetrabutylammonium salt: [2] NaReO 4 + N(C 4 H 9) 4 Cl → N(C 4 H 9) 4 [ReO 4] + NaCl. The tetrabutylammonium salt precipitates from the aqueous solution. It is soluble in dichloromethane.
An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is mostly shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula . For example, a solution of table salt , also known as sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na + (aq) + Cl − (aq) .
HSAB is an acronym for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases".HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species.
Potassium chlorate can react with sulfuric acid to form a highly reactive solution of chloric acid and potassium sulfate: 2 KClO 3 + H 2 SO 4 → 2 HClO 3 + K 2 SO 4. The solution so produced is sufficiently reactive that it spontaneously ignites if combustible material (sugar, paper, etc.) is present. Candy being dropped into molten salt
The salt metathesis reaction results in precipitation of solid calcium carbonate, leaving potassium hydroxide in solution: Ca(OH) 2 + K 2 CO 3 → CaCO 3 + 2 KOH. Filtering off the precipitated calcium carbonate and boiling down the solution gives potassium hydroxide ("calcinated or caustic potash").
An example would be the synthesis of Cr 3+ tetraphenylporphyrin chloride: water is added to the dimethylformamide (DMF) solution in which the reaction occurred, and the product precipitates. [10] Precipitation is useful in purifying many other products: e.g. , crude bmim -Cl is taken up in acetonitrile , and dropped into ethyl acetate , where ...
For example, an aqueous solution prepared from CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O and anhydrous CuSO 4 behave identically. Therefore, knowledge of the degree of hydration is important only for determining the equivalent weight: one mole of CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O weighs more than one mole of CuSO 4. In some cases, the degree of hydration can be critical to the resulting ...
Doubting but not certain of the CuSO4 + NaCl example under "aqueous metathesis" [ edit ] I believe that the example of copper sulfate + sodium chloride precipitating copper chloride is incorrect - At saturation, the solution would be ~2M in copper ion and sulfate, and 5.8M in Na+ and Cl-, but the solubility of CuCl2 is ~5.2M, so it's about ...
