Arrange the following in increasing order of acidity and name the property which decides this order :
(i) HCOOH ,CH3 COOH, CH2Cl COOH.
(ii) CH3COOH, CH3OH, C6H5OH.
Sodium cyanide (NaCN) is used for extracting silver from its ore due to the metal displacement property.
In this process, silver ores (Ag2S and AgCl) are leached for many hours with an aqueous solution of NaCN. This forms soluble sodium dicyanoargentite.
Write balanced equations for the following reactions :
(i) Tin with aqueous sodium hydroxide.
(ii) Copper with dilute nitric acid.
(iii) Bromine with sodium sulphite.
(iv) Preparation of bleaching powder.
Write the equation and name the following reactions :
(i) Acetic acid with red phosphorus and chlorine.
(ii) Acetaldehyde with aluminium ethoxide.
(iii) Phenol with acetyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3.
(iv) Benzaldehyde with concentrated sodium hydroxide.
