For example, the order of relative strengths of a series of acids or bases may be altered by a change of solvent. This is especially evident when acid-base behavior in water is compared with that in hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons. To the latter two groups, which are often called "inert" or "aprotic" solvents, belong important liquids like benzene, toluene, cyclo- hexane, and carbon tetrachloride. Industrially important materials such as drycleaning solvents, lubricants, motor fuels, refrigerants, and transformer oils are additional examples. From 1941 to the end of 1965 the National Bureau of Standards maintained, in response to requests from industry and other Government agencies, a research program designed to ascertain and explain acid-base behavior in aprotic organic solvents, as well as to develop methods and reference materials for determining total acid and base content and relative strengths of acids and bases in such media.

In this study, lead picrates were synthesized by several methods, and the thermody- namic and explosive properties such as sensitivity were examined. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results revealed that lead picrates had several heat decomposition patterns depending on the synthesis method, and they had lower temperature of start of exothermic reaction than sodium picrate had. The heat of decomposition of lead picrates was found to be lower than that of picric acid. Lead picrate from lead acetate and picric acid had lower activation energy of thermal decomposition than the other lead picrates. Thermogravimetry analysis and Karl Fischer analysis confirmed that lead picrates contained crystalline H2O, which dehydrated at above 375 K. And, lead picrates did not have property of fusion. Drop hammer test results showed that lead picrates had high strike sensitivity, whereas the lead picrates had low friction sensitivity in friction tests, attributable to the presence of crystalline H2O. The ignition temperatures of lead picrates were found to be in the range 543.9–600.3 K.

  • Picric Acid Picric Acid (CAS No
    Picric Acid Picric acid (CAS No. 88-89-1,2,4,6-Trinitrophenol, picronitric acid) is a pale yellow, odorless crystal that is slightly soluble in water. It is primarily used as a staining reagent and in synthesis reactions. When hydrated, it is typically harmless but when dry can be a powerful explosive. Picric acid is highly sensitive to heat, shock and friction and, additionally, is a toxic substance by all modes of entry (i.e., inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact). Picric acid is highly reactive with a wide variety of materials (e.g., concrete, plaster, amines, bases, and metals such as lead, zinc, copper, and mercury) to form picrate salts, which are more reactive and shock sensitive than the acid itself. Purchasing • Purchase of picric acid should be restricted to the smallest practicable quantity. • If possible, eliminate it from your inventory by purchasing premixed stains or a 1% solution for using in stain preparation. Storage • Label containers with date received and date opened. • Store in original container in a cool, dry, wellventilated area away from sources of heat. • Keep wet - material should be a wet paste and greater than 10% water by volume. • Check for evidence of dried crystals (see handling section) and rehydrate contents every 6 months with DI water as needed and document on bottle. • Dispose after 2 years of storage. • Store separately from oxidizers, reducing agents, inorganic salts, metals (copper, lead, zinc, aluminum + water), ammonia, concrete, plaster, salts, gelatin, alkaloids and albumin. Handling • Do not use metal spatulas to remove picric acid. • Clean the bottleneck, cap and threads with a wet cloth before resealing.

The reaction conforms to a consecutive reaction sequence: first benzonitrile is hydrogenated to produce benzylamine, which subsequently undergoes a hydrogenolysis step to form toluene. Benzonitrile hydrogenation obeys first-order kinetics with an activation energy of 27.6 kJ mol−1. In contrast, the benzylamine hydrogenolysis stage obeys zero-order kinetics −1 and exhibits an activation energy of 80.1 kJ mol . A 1 wt % Pd/Al2O3 catalyst is additionally examined, which is also seen to support hydrogenolysis activity alongside the hydrogenation pathway. Gas phase transmission infrared spectroscopic measurements of the hydrogenation of benzonitrile and benzylamine over the 1 wt % Pd/Al2O3 catalyst utilizing hydrogen and deuterium are undertaken, which enable reaction schemes incorporating adsorption geometries of intermediate adsorption complexes to be proposed.
