Results for 'potassium nitrite':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Nitrites react with concentrated hydrochloric acid, forming a brown/orange
compound, which remains dissolved in the acid. When the acid is diluted
with water, then this orange compound is destroyed (probably it hydrolyses,
due to lower concentration).
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Nitrogen oxides do not dissolve in ligroin. Nitrosyl bromide does. When a
compound with unstaturated C=C bonds is added, then the nitrosyl bromide
does not quickly decompose. It does not react with alkenes and the presence
of alkenes does not cause it to decompose quickly.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Allyl alcohol (having one double bond between carbon atoms) forms a nitrite
ester very easily and this ester is stable, at least for several minutes.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Cobalt (II) builds complexes with nitrogen oxides.
EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
Cobalt (II) forms a coordination complex with nitrous oxide, which easily
decomposes again. On addition of alkali, the cobalt is oxidized and appears
to build a cobalt-compound of an higher oxidation state.
EXPERIMENT 6
---------------
Cobalt carbonate does not dissolve completely in dilute mineral acids. With
some heating, however, it does dissolve completely.
With nitrite a yellow/orange complex is formed, which forms a precipitate
when treated with alkalies. The precipitate is resistant to treatment with
acid and bases.
EXPERIMENT 7
---------------
In this experiment, some of Werner's experiments are repeated. Here it is
shown that cobalt forms beautifully colored carbonato complexes. The exact
complex formed, depends on the experimental conditions. It is remarkable
what kinds of reactions are shown by cobalt in its complexes and it is
really difficult to precisely determine what is happening and it even is
difficult already to get the same results without precisely specifying the
exact experimental conditions (e.g. using HCl instead of H2SO4 already
results in a different outcome).
EXPERIMENT 8
---------------
Nitrite reacts with p-aminophenol violently in alkaline environments.
EXPERIMENT 9
---------------
Sodium bromide is not oxidized by concentrated nitric acid. However, when
a minute quantity of nitrite is added, suddenly the reaction starts and
quickly all bromide is oxidized.
EXPERIMENT 10
---------------
Sodium chlorate reacts with chloride in acidic environment, forming chlorine
(which can be detected by means of its odour) and a fairly intensely colored
yellow gas (chlorine dioxide). The color of this gas is much more intense
than the color of chlorine.
The yellow compound is destroyed by sulfite and nitrite.
EXPERIMENT 11
---------------
Nitrite ion is very unstable in concentrated hydrofluoric acid. Although the
acid only is a weak acid, it forces complete decomposition of the nitrite ion
and potassium fluoride remains behind in solution.
EXPERIMENT 12
---------------
An acidified solution of potassium bromate quickly oxidises solid potassium
nitrite to potassium nitrate, the bromate being converted to bromine.
