The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.
2-Methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride is an organic acid anhydride also known as the Shiina reagent, [1] [2] having a structure wherein carboxylic acids undergo intermolecular dehydration condensation. It was developed in 2002 by Prof. Isamu Shiina ( Tokyo University of Science , Japan). [ 3 ]
N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride is widely used in the quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite in water samples by colorimetry.It readily undergoes a diazonium coupling reaction in the presence of nitrite to give a strongly colored azo compound.
In chemistry, a reagent (/ r i ˈ eɪ dʒ ən t / ree-AY-jənt) or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs. [1] The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, but reactant specifies a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. [ 1 ]
For example, in the reaction CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O, the stoichiometric number of CH 4 is −1, the stoichiometric number of O 2 is −2, for CO 2 it would be +1 and for H 2 O it is +2. In more technically precise terms, the stoichiometric number in a chemical reaction system of the i -th component is defined as
In fact, there is an easier way to determine the limiting reagent with the same data and any amount of reagents: The reagent that has the lowest answer to this formula is the limiting reagent. Je007 18:29, 17 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Je007 ( talk • contribs )
The simplest case refers to the formation of a strictly linear polymer by the reaction (usually by condensation) of two monomers in equimolar quantities. An example is the synthesis of nylon-6,6 whose formula is [−NH−(CH 2) 6 −NH−CO−(CH 2) 4 −CO−] n from one mole of hexamethylenediamine, H 2 N(CH 2) 6 NH 2, and one mole of adipic acid, HOOC−(CH 2) 4 −COOH.
2,6-Xylidine is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 2 NH 2. It is one of several isomeric xylidines. It is a colorless viscous liquid.
