Results for 'trichloroisocyanuric acid':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
TCCA does not react with sulphuric acid, at least not visibly. Even when
heated, no reaction seems to occur. On addition of some solid NaCl vigorous
evolution of chlorine gas is observed.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
TCCA reacts with ammonia. With 5% ammonia the reaction already is very
vigorous, producing copious amounts of white smoke. With 15% ammonia the
reaction is VERY violent, almost explosive.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
When trichloroisocyanuric acid and sodium nitrite are mixed then no reaction
occurs. As soon as some water is added a fairly vigorous reaction starts. A
brown gas mix is produced, and the material starts foaming. The gas inside the
foam bubbles is colorless and only when bubbles pop, a brown gas is observed.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
When compounds of manganese(IV) or manganese(VII) are added to hydrochloric
acid, then chlorine gas is produced and the solution becomes very dark
brown/green. Only after a long time of heating, all dark brown/green material
is gone and what remains is a pale solution, containing manganese(II) ions.
In this series of experiments it was attempted to go the other way around. Is
it possible to go from almost colorless manganese(II) to the dark colored
compounds of manganese(III) or manganese(IV). This was done by adding chlorine
to solutions of manganese(II) salts in concentrated hydrochloric acid.
While doing so, an interesting observation was made. The dark colored compound
indeed can be made from manganese(II) in concentrated hydrochloric acid, but
only from hypochlorite and not from chlorine.
When calciumhypochlorite is added to hydrochloric acid, then chlorine is formed
vigorously, and the solution becomes green and clear.
It seems, however, that even in concentrated hydrochloric acid some of the
hypochlorite is not decomposed at once, but remains in solution as yellow/green
hypochlorous acid.
A freshly prepared solution, made from a pinch of calcium hypochlorite and
concentrated hydrochloric acid, reacts differently than a saturated solution of
chlorine in concentrated hydrochloric acid. This is shown with manganese(II)
ions in hydrochloric acid.
