n fact,even at the begining this reaction begin, but very very slow.Because of its very much activation energy, Light or a metal catalyst is needed to occur reaction fast.

-You know KMnO4 is a oxideizing agent.but tert-butyl alcohol don't oxidize because it is a tertiary alcohol. -with any acid,this alcohol will protonate and occur tert-butyl hidroksonium cation.3-Alcohols react with carboxcylic acids to give esters.İn this reaction a H2O molecules leave and this is a condensation reaction.4-Alcohols react with Na to give H2(g) and Sodium tert-butoxide. nbsp;I hope ı am not wrong.You can find more details in any organic chemistry book.

Thanks for the response! Just to be sure I'm okay with this now, here is what I'm understanding. When working with these types of equations, I have to consider if the solute will ionize in the solvent. If it will, then I need to consider the particles in the final answer based on complete dissociation or Van't Hoff factor, right?

Does glucose ionise in aqueous solution?

Thanks for the fast response, I'm not sure I understand. Based on your reply about the Van't Hoff factor, I think the answer would be assuming complete dissociation (2 particles in NaCl), right? I think the Van't Hoff factor for this equation is a different number. Here is a similar question just to make sure I'm understanding correctly. I solved for the osmotic pressure of a 60g glucose (C6H1206) soln in 1L of water at 310K. I found osmotic pressure to be 8.47 atm after multiplying MRT. Now, do I multiply 8.47atm by 24 (the number of glucose particles in the solution) for the final answer?Thanks!

We had an ACS local section meeting recently in the clubhouse of the Air Force Academy golf course. The featured speaker, a DoD chemist, gave an interesting talk on his work on some of the basic issues relating to the storage of positrons or anti-electrons. In the interest of fairness, since I am writing under a pseudonym, I’ll not wave [...]

I’m going home now. Just spent a few hours trying to make a parameter change its state on the GC side of my spiffy new Agilent GC/MS. Modern instruments are a confederation of subsystems that must give a thumbs up before a software magistrate will allow the instrument to initiate a run. If it is a hyphenated [...]

Here is an interesting question. What fraction of the organic nitrogen in your body is ultimately from the Haber-Bosch Process? Any guesses? This question arose during dinner discussion following a rousing seminar on frustrated Lewis pairs. There is no connection to frustrated Lewis pairs, but the speaker raised the question.
Oh, I don’t have an answer. [...]

So it happens that my kid is in 8th grade and is studying chemistry for the first time in earnest. As luck would have it, the kid’s teacher is of Haitian extraction and is on some kind of leave of absence either due to illness or possibly because 3 family members perished in the quake. I don’t know. This fellow [...]

A short drive from my office is the Fort St Vrain power plant. The present electrical generating facility is powered by natural gas. But a generation ago it was a nuclear plant powered by a high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR). What’s more, the reactor used fissile uranium with fertile thorium. The output of the [...]
