Results for 'acetic anhydride':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Sulphuric acid and acetic anhydride react with each other. This reaction is
very violent. The final product is a very viscous colorless liquid. The main
constituent of this liquid is acetyl sulfate or acetyl bisulfate.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Ferric chloride dissolves in acetic anhydride very well, forming a beautifully
colored deep red/brown solution. The color of this solution is very bright.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
The combination of acetyl and sulfate, either directly, or derived from other
compounds reacts extremely energetically with water. It is remarkable that it
is this specific combination of three entities which gives extremely violent
reactions. This effect is demonstrated with different chemicals in different
combinations.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
When anhydrous ZnCl2 is added to acetic anhydride, then a (small) part of the
solid dissolves. On addition of a small amount of water, an extremely violent
reaction occurs, accompanied with crackling noise and violent bubbling of the
liquid.
