Concept explainers
Interpretation:
General properties of acids and bases must be explained.
Concept introduction:
Many concepts are there to define acids and bases. Arrhenius concept states that H+ donors are acids and OH- donors are bases.
Lewis concept states that electron donors are bases and electron acceptors are acids.
Acids are sour in taste and bases are bitter.
Acids solutions can convert blue litmus to red. Base solutions convert red litmus to blue.
Most of the acids and bases can produce hydrogen gas after reacting with highly electropositive metals. Acids solutions can give effervescence after reacting with sodium bicarbonate.
Some of the bases like potassium hydroxide can corrode glass. Base solutions are slippery in nature.
On the pH scale, the solutions having pH less than 7 are acidic in nature and solution with pH greater than 7 are basic in nature.
The solutions with pH equal to 7 are neutral.

This quiz is open textbook / open notes - but you must work alone. You cannot use the internet or the solutions manual for the book. Scan in your work and record an explanation of your mechanism. You may record this any way that you like. One way would be to start an individual Zoom meeting, start recording, "share your screen" and then talk through the problem. This will be converted to an .mp4 file that you can upload into Canvas using the "record/upload media" feature. Pyridine, benzoic acid and benzene are dissolved in ethyl acetate. Design and provide a plan / flow chart for separating and isolating each of these components. Pyridine and benzene are liquids at room temperature. Benzoic acid is a solid. You have ethyl acetate, 2M NaOH, 2M HCI and anhydrous MgSO4 available, as well as all the glassware and equipment that you used in the organic lab this year. Provide accurate acid/base reactions for any…arrow_forward
