Results for 'acetone':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Hydroxyl amine reacts with acetone, releasing (some) heat. After this
reaction, the resulting compound is shown to still be a relatively strongly
reducing agent in alkaline solution.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Cupric chloride dihydrate dissolves in acetone. The solution becomes yellow
at low concentrations, green/brown at higher concentrations. When sulphuric
acid is added, then a precipitate of anhydrous cupric chloride is formed.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Copper sulfate dissolves in methanol quite well. A blue solution is obtained.
Copper chloride dihydrate also dissolves in methanol quite well. A green
solution is obtained.
With thiocyanate a deep brown complex is formed, which dissolves in
methanol, but at higher concentration this precipitates.
With cyanide, a dirty green compound is formed, which, however, quickly
turns white. This probably is copper (I) cyanide.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Cobalt builds highly colored complexes with thiocyanate when acetone
is added. This complex is soluble in ether.
EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
Cobalt (II) builds complexes with nitrogen oxides.
EXPERIMENT 6
---------------
Acetone can be mixed with water in any ratio, but when sodium hydroxide
is added, then the liquids are not miscible in any ratio anymore.
Sulphur reacts with acetone in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Sulfide
does not show such a reaction.
EXPERIMENT 7
---------------
Sulphur dissolves in hot solutions of sodium hydroxide and disproportionates
in a way, similar to disproportionating of halogens.
When acetone is added, a peculiar blue/green compound is formed in the
acetone. What is this compound?
EXPERIMENT 8
---------------
A large set of compounds is checked on interaction with concentrated
nitric acid. Many reductors react violently with nitric acid.
EXPERIMENT 9
---------------
When concentrated sulphuric acid is added to concentrated nitric acid,
then some heating can be observed.
The mixed acid reacts with tissue, but not as strongly as pure sulphuric
acid does. The mixed acid reacts with copper, but this reaction is not
as strong as the reaction with nitric acid only.
With citric acid and acetone no strong reaction occurs.
EXPERIMENT 10
---------------
When dichromate is reduced with metabisulfite in acidic environment, then
a chromium (III) compound is formed, which does not easily crystallize
from the liquid as chrome alum. The chromium (III) compound is green,
instead of violet.
EXPERIMENT 11
---------------
Permanganate is a strong (and dangerous) oxidizer, when combined with
concentrated sulphuric acid. It is capable of lighting paper and acetone,
without the use of matches.
Permanganate, mixed with a mixture of nitric acid and sulphuric acid is
a strong oxidizer as well, but not as powerful as when mixed with
sulphuric acid only.
EXPERIMENT 12
---------------
Acetone and chloroform react with each other in strongly alkaline
environments, building a compound, called chloretone or chlorbutol.
Formal name of the compound is 1,1,1-trichloro 2-methyl 2-propanol,
formula CCl3 C(CH3)(OH) CH3.
A similar reaction is observed, when MEK is used instead of acetone,
but the reaction is much less vigorous.
EXPERIMENT 13
---------------
This experiment is performed in order to determine, whether iodoform (CHI3)
shows a reaction, similar to chloroform, when treated with acetone in a
strongly alkaline environment. The result of this experiments suggests
that indeed a similar reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of a
compound with a sweetish mint-like odour.
EXPERIMENT 14
---------------
When ethanol and acetone are mixed, together with sulphuric acid, then no
special visible reaction occurs. The compounds are bound to the acid. Their
smell hardly exists after mixing with the acid.
The mixture is not capable anymore of producing HCl from NaCl, nor does it
show a strong reaction with KMnO4 (as was expected, due to the presence of
concentrated H2SO4).
EXPERIMENT 15
---------------
Acetone reacts with sulphur in strongly alkaline environments. What products
are formed?
A similar reaction is observed between methyl ethyl ketone and sulphur.
EXPERIMENT 16
---------------
Potassium permanganate dissolves in acetone and in MEK. In the latter,
however, it dissolves in smaller quantities.
EXPERIMENT 17
---------------
MEK reacts with sulphuric acid. A quick reaction occurs when the liquids
are mixed and a lot of heat is produced. Further reaction takes a few days.
The second reaction stage results in formation of a oil-like product
(a polymerization product?).
EXPERIMENT 18
---------------
Trichloro ethene reacts with acetone, forming a brown substance, but only
when in a strongly alkaline environment. The exact conditions, under which
this brown substance is formed must be further investigated.
EXPERIMENT 19
---------------
Nickel does not appear to build coordination complexes with thiocyanate,
not even if acetone is added (in contrast to cobalt).
Ni(OH)2 is oxidized to a dark compound by persulfate, even in the presence
of a reducing agent like acetone.
EXPERIMENT 20
---------------
Cobalt chloride, both the anhydrous form and the hydrated form (with 6 H2O)
dissolve in acetone, giving a deep blue/cyan solution. When an apolar solvent
is added to this (e.g. ligroin), then the solution of anhydrous cobalt chloride
gives a fine light blue precipitate, the solution of the hydrated cobalt
chloride gives small droplets of deep cyan/blue solution, with a colorless
liquid above it.
EXPERIMENT 21
---------------
Chromium trioxide dissolves well in acetone, but it does not react. When
sulphuric acid is added, then it does react and it can do so nearly
explosively!
EXPERIMENT 22
---------------
Iodine does not react with nitrite in methanolic solution.
Iodine does react with hydroxide in methanolic solution, a very light yellow
compound is formed. On acidification this gives iodine again.
Iodine does react with red phosphorous in methanolic solution, but the reaction
is slow.
EXPERIMENT 23
---------------
Anhydrous copper (II) chloride, when added to acetone, dissolves with a
yellow/brown color. If more copper (II) chloride is added, than can be
dissolved in acetone, then the remaining solid becomes red/brown, like iron
rust.
When the red/brown solid is added to water, then at once it becomes green and
then it dissolves, just as normal copper (II) chloride. The dilute solution
becomes light blue.
EXPERIMENT 24
---------------
Anhydrous magnesium perchlorate dissolves in acetone easily, giving a colorless
solution. Some heat is produced when the magnesium perchlorate dissolves, but
it is not much. The resulting solution does not conduct electricity. When just
a few drops of water are added to the solution, then it becomes conducting.
EXPERIMENT 25
---------------
Anhydrous copper (II) chloride, when added to acetone, dissolves with a
yellow/brown/green color. When a saturated solution is allowed to stand for
several hours at 10 C or so, then red/brown crystals are formed. When the
crystals are heated, then they become dark brown and a flammable vapor is
produced (most likely acetone).
Probably, from a saturated solution of copper(II)chloride in acetone, an adduct
is formed of the form CuCl2.nCH3COCH3.
EXPERIMENT 26
---------------
Magnesium perchlorate dissolves in acetone very well. The mix of acetone and
magnesium perchlorate does burn like normal acetone. No spectacular reaction
occurs when the solution is ignited.
