  2. Cannizzaro reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannizzaro_reaction

    rate = k[RCHO] 2 [OH −] + k'[RCHO] 2 [OH −] 2. The k' pathway implicates a reaction between the doubly charged anion (RCHO 2 2−) and the aldehyde. The direct transfer of hydride ion is evident from the observation that the recovered alcohol does not contain any deuterium attached to the α-carbon when the reaction is performed in the ...

  3. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.

  4. 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.

  5. Potassium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide

    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"). This method of producing potassium hydroxide remained dominant until the late 19th century, when it was largely replaced by the current method of electrolysis of ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Saponification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

    Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali. 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 ...

  8. Acid value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_value

    In chemistry, acid value (AV, acid number, neutralization number or acidity) is a number used to quantify the acidity of a given chemical substance.It is the quantity of base (usually potassium hydroxide (KOH)), expressed as milligrams of KOH required to neutralize the acidic constituents in 1 gram of a sample.

  9. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    There is a 1:1 molar ratio of NH 3 to NO 2 in the above balanced combustion reaction, so 5.871 mol of NO 2 will be formed. We will employ the ideal gas law to solve for the volume at 0 °C (273.15 K) and 1 atmosphere using the gas law constant of R = 0.08206 L·atm·K −1 ·mol −1 :
