  2. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

  3. Alkoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkoxide

    2 CH 3 OH + 2 Na → 2 CH 3 ONa + H 2. Other alkali metals can be used in place of sodium, and most alcohols can be used in place of methanol. Generally, the alcohol is used in excess and left to be used as a solvent in the reaction. Thus, an alcoholic solution of the alkali alkoxide is used.

  4. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    In this reaction, sodium hydroxide acts as an agent to make the solution alkaline, which aluminium can dissolve in. 2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H 2 O → 2 NaAlO 2 + 3 H 2. Sodium aluminate is an inorganic chemical that is used as an effective source of aluminium hydroxide for many industrial and technical applications.

  5. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis. When the carboxylate is long chain, its salt is called a soap. The saponification of ethyl acetate gives sodium acetate and ethanol: C 2 H 5 O 2 CCH 3 + NaOH → C 2 H 5 OH + NaO 2 CCH 3

  6. Sodium ethoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_ethoxide

    The ethyl layers pack back-to-back resulting in a lamellar structure. The reaction of sodium and ethanol sometimes forms other products such as the disolvate CH 3 CH 2 ONa·2CH 3 CH 2 OH. Its crystal structure has been determined, although the structure of other phases in the CH 3 CH 2 ONa/CH 3 CH 2 OH system remain unknown. [6]

  7. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formulaOH and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom. In organic chemistry , alcohols and carboxylic acids contain one or more hydroxy groups.

  8. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxide

    The formula, Cu 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 shows that it is halfway between copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. Indeed, in the past the formula was written as CuCO 3 ·Cu(OH) 2. The crystal structure is made up of copper, carbonate and hydroxide ions. [37] The mineral atacamite is an example of a basic chloride. It has the formula, Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3.

  9. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    The first solvation shell of a sodium ion dissolved in water. 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 ...
