1
Q

Are carboxylic acids soluble in water

A

Yes, because they form Hydrogen bonds with water. However, as chain length increases, solubility decreases and London forces increase and outweigh hydrogen bond

Q

What’s the method for reacting propanone with iodine?

A
  • Mix them together in acidic conditions
  • Small samples are then removed from the mixture with a volumetric pipette
  • Then quench by adding excess sodium hydrogen carbonate to neutralise the acid
  • Then titration with sodium thiosulfate and starch catalyst
  • Will go from yellow/brown to colourless
17
Q

Define free radical

A

A species with one unpaired electron

18
Q

What would u use to neutralise any unwanted acid in a solution.

A

Sodium hydrogencarbonate

19
Q

Why is sodium chloride added when separating layers of a solution?

A

Helps the organic and aqueous layer seperate
