The energy richness of the C≡C triple bond and the rather high solubility of acetylene in water make it a suitable substrate for bacteria, provided an adequate source is available. [47] A number of bacteria living on acetylene have been identified. The enzyme acetylene hydratase catalyzes the hydration of acetylene to give acetaldehyde: [48]
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The table below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
Chemical formula Name CAS number CH 3 CHO: acetaldehyde: 75-07-0 CH 3 CO 2 H: acetic acid: 64-19-7 (CH 3) 2 CO: acetone: 67-64-1 CH 3 CN: acetonitrile: 75-05-8 CH 3 CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OH: 1,2-Butanediol: 584-03-2
The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, [5] was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862. CaC 2 + 2H 2 O → C 2 H 2 + Ca(OH) 2 (aq) This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene, and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide.
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
It is the simplest and smallest ketone (>C=O). It is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops. Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important organic solvent in industry, home, and laboratory.
Diphenylacetylene is the chemical compound C 6 H 5 C≡CC 6 H 5. The molecule consists of two phenyl groups attached to a C 2 unit. A colorless solid, it is used as a building block in organic synthesis and as a ligand in organometallic chemistry.
