  2. Acetic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_anhydride

    Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CO) 2 O.Commonly abbreviated Ac 2 O, it is the simplest isolable anhydride of a carboxylic acid and is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis.

  3. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    Figure 6:Reaction Coordinate Diagrams showing reactions with 0, 1 and 2 intermediates: The double-headed arrow shows the first, second and third step in each reaction coordinate diagram. In all three of these reactions the first step is the slow step because the activation energy from the reactants to the transition state is the highest.

  4. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

  5. Sodium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate

    This is the reaction taking place in the well-known "volcano" that occurs when the household products, baking soda and vinegar, are combined. CH 3 COOH + NaHCO 3 → CH 3 COONa + H 2 CO 3 H 2 CO 3 → CO 2 + H 2 O. Industrially, sodium acetate trihydrate is prepared by reacting acetic acid with sodium hydroxide using water as the solvent. CH 3 ...

  6. RICE chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RICE_chart

    The first row shows the reaction, which some authors label R and some leave blank. The second row, labeled I, has the initial conditions: the nominal concentration of acid is C a and it is initially undissociated, so the concentrations of A − and H + are zero. The third row, labeled C, specifies the change that occurs during the reaction.

  7. Ketone halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_halogenation

    Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of acetic acid. Basic (in aqueous NaOH): Reaction mechanism for the bromination of acetone while in the presence of aqueous NaOH. In acidic solution, usually only one alpha hydrogen is replaced by a halogen, as each successive halogenation is slower than the first.

  8. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

  9. Born–Haber cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born–Haber_cycle

    The cycle is concerned with the formation of an ionic compound from the reaction of a metal (often a Group I or Group II element) with a halogen or other non-metallic element such as oxygen. Born–Haber cycles are used primarily as a means of calculating lattice energy (or more precisely enthalpy [note 1]), which cannot otherwise be measured ...
