Wilson,Jr.* and Reagan Baber Department of Physical Science Harding University Searcy, AR 72149 ""Corresponding Author Abstract Assays for water content can be readily and simply carried out using the technique of thermal titrations. The method is based onmeasuring the endothermic heat of reaction exhibited when 2,2-dimethoxypropane is brought into contact with water in the presence of an acid catalyst. The apparatus is simple, requiring a constant delivery rate buret, a recording thermistor thermometer, and a stirred, thermally insulated reaction container. The 2,2-dimethoxypropane reagent used for the water assays is environmentally friendly ("green"). Itis stable, pleasant smelling and economical. Working curves in three solvents, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane, show excellent precision and linearity withincreasing water concentrations to at least 0.07 M.Four different kinds ofsamples were subjected to this method of water assay to demonstrate its versatility: ethanol, nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate, concentrated sulfuric acid, and two kinds of fuels. Ineach case, the method worked accurately and reproducibly witha minimum of time required. Introduction reagent, one could readily quantitate the amount of water in a sample.

Received: 14 June 2019; Accepted: 25 September 2019; Published: 1 October 2019 Abstract: Sulfonic acids in ionic liquids (ILs) are used as catalysts, electrolytes, and solutions for metal extraction. The sulfonic acid ionization states and the solution acid/base properties are critical for these applications. Methane sulfonic acid (MSA) and camphor sulfonic acid (CSA) are dissolved in several IL solutions with and without bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imine (HTFSI). The solutions demonstrated higher conductivities and lower viscosities. Through calorimetry and temperature-dependent conductivity analysis, we found that adding MSA to the IL solution may change both the ion migration activation energy and the number of “free” charge carriers. However, no significant acid ionization or proton transfer was observed in the IL solutions. Raman and IR spectroscopy with computational simulations suggest that the HTFSI forms dimers in the solutions with an N-H-N “bridged” structure, while MSA does not perturb this hydrogen ion solvation structure in the IL solutions.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices.

These catalysts are widely used in acid-catalyzed processes. Most of these acid catalysts are eco-friendly, reusable, and stable. Moreover, the discovery of unique cata- lysts is vital for developing new, efficient, and reusable catalysts for industrial and laboratory applications. The aim of this review article is to review the recent studies (2014–2018) in the field of the utility of sulfonated organic materials, sulfonated silica materi- als, and sulfonated carbon materials for developing acidic catalysts.

  • Course Presentation for B.Sc. Chemistry (H) SEM VI
    DYES Course Presentation For B.Sc. Chemistry (H) SEM VI 1 Dyes definition: Dyes are colored organic compounds that are use to color various substances like fabrics, paper, food, hair and drugs etc. With regard to their solubility, organic colorants fall into two classes, viz. dyes and pigments. The key distinction is that dyes are soluble in water and/or an organic solvent, while pigments are insoluble in both types of liquid media. Dyes are used to color substrates to which they have affinity. Pigments can be used to color any polymeric substrate but by a mechanism quite different from that of dyes, in that surface only coloration is involved unless the pigment is mixed with the polymer before fiber or molded article formation. To be used dye must possess these four properties. (i) Color (ii) Solubility in water and/or an organic solvent. (iii) Ability to be absorbed and retained by fiber (substantivity) or to be chemically combined with it (reactivity). (iv) Ability to withstand washing, dry cleaning and exposure to light. 2 Classification of Dyes 1. On the basis of source: (a) Natural dyes: Natural dyes are dyes or colorants derived from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. The majority of natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plant sources—roots, berries, bark, leaves, and wood—and other biological sources such as fungi and lichens. There are two types of natural dyes. Additive dyes (non-substantive) such as madder must use a mordant (a chemical that fixes a dye) to bond with fibers. These are the most common type and have been used for at least 2,000 years.

Abstract: Condensation of resorcinol with 4-carboxyphthalic anhydride in methane sulfonic acid gave a mixture of 5- and 6- carboxyfluorescein stereoisomers. These were separated by recrystallization from methanol- or ethanol-hexane to give 5- and 6- carboxyfluorescein, each in over 98 % purity.
