Results for 'thionyl chloride':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Thionyl chloride quickly hydrolyses in the presence of water.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Iodide ion reacts with thionyl chloride, most likely giving iodine, and some
sulphur(II) species.
Potassium bromide does not dissolve in thionyl chloride (at least, not visibly).
No reaction occurs.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Potassium dichromate is sparingly soluble in thionyl chloride, giving an
intensely colored red/orange/brown solution, which on addition to water
at once becomes green with a blue hue.
Potassium chromate does not dissolve in thionyl chloride. The solid changes
color from yellow to yellow/orange, and the solution becomes slightly colored,
but this faint reaction may be due to minor impurities in the potassium
chromate or thionyl chloride. If any potassium chromate dissolves, then it
is a very small amount.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Thionyl chloride is not soluble in concentrated sulphuric acid, or only
sparingly soluble.
The mix of thionyl chloride and sulphuric acid is capable of forming chromyl
chloride from potassium dichromate.
EXPERIMENT 5
---------------
Niobium pentachloride is soluble in thionyl chloride, but not very well. Also,
such a solution becomes turbid.
EXPERIMENT 6
---------------
Iodine dissolves in thionyl chloride. It does not react. It gives a purple
solution, looking very similar to a purple solution of iodine in an alkane or
chlorinated hydrocarbons.
When water is added, then a remarkable reaction occurs. Sulphur is formed.
EXPERIMENT 7
---------------
Triethylamine frequently is used in reactions, where thionyl chloride is used,
in order to capture any HCl formed in the reaction. However, when the only
reactive compounds are thionyl chloride and triethylamine, then these two
compounds react by themselves, giving rise to formation of black material,
which sticks to the glass and is difficult to remove.
EXPERIMENT 8
---------------
Vanadium pentoxide does not dissolve in thionyl chloride, but when a small
amount of water is added, then it reacts.
Vanadium pentoxide dissolves in acetyl chloride, giving a dark red/brown
solution.
EXPERIMENT 9
---------------
Thionyl chloride and copper nitrate react with each other, giving gaseous
products and solid anhydrous copper(II) chloride remains behind.
EXPERIMENT 10
---------------
Formic acid does not form an acid chloride with thionylchloride, but it
decomposes. Normally, the following reaction occurs:
RCOOH + SOCl2 --> RCOCl + SO2 + HCl
When R = H (formic acid), then decomposition occurs and carbon monoxide is
formed.
