No, benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel Craft reaction because the carboxylic group is deactivating and the Lewis acid catalyst and carboxylic... View Article
The difference between Arrhenius acids and bases is that Arrhenius acids produce H+ ions in aqueous solution whereas Arrhenius bases produce OH-... View Article
Following are the common acids that are used in the home: Citric acid is found in the citrus fruits. Sulfuric acid is used as the drain... View Article
All the Arrhenius acids when ionized yields hydrogen ions in aqueous solution. This is common in all Arrhenius acids. Stay tuned with BYJU’S to... View Article
When nitric acid reacts with ammonia, ammonium nitrate is formed. Stay tuned with BYJU’S to learn more about other concepts such as the... View Article
Phenol is stable with benzene ring as it has a conjugation of lone pair of oxygen. Phenol becomes prone to donate proton when there is a... View Article
Following are the side effects of phosphoric acid: It is corrosive in nature when it is in contact with the skin and eye. It causes redness... View Article
Phenol is converted to salicylic acid by Reimer-Tiemann reaction. In this reaction, ortho hydroxyl benzaldehyde and ortho hydroxyl benzoic acid... View Article
Nitric acid is stronger than nitrous acid because the conjugate base of nitric acid is more stable than the conjugate base of nitrous acid. Also,... View Article
Nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent which is the property of nitric acid allowing it to react with copper. Stay tuned with BYJU’S to learn... View Article
Maleic acid does not show optical isomerism. This is because maleic acid does not have a chiral centre and there is no absence of symmetry... View Article
Concentrated sulphuric acid is used for the dehydration of alcohol because sulphuric acid is a strong oxidising agent. It also has a strong... View Article
BaCl2, barium chloride is not a Lewis acid because barium loses two electrons while chlorine gains one electron thus forming chloride ion. Since... View Article
Honey is acidic in nature as the pH of honey ranges from 3.4 to 6.1. The average pH of honey is 3.9, and we know that on the pH scale, anything... View Article
We know that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire. However, the cross-sectional area of the... View Article
Resistance and current are inversely proportional to each other. Therefore, an increase in resistance leads to a decrease in the current. Stay... View Article
No, resistance does not depend on the density of the material. However, it depends inversely on the density of free electrons in the material.... View Article
The resistance of a wire increases if the wire is made thinner. This is due to: R = ⍴l/A So we know that cross-sectional area is directly... View Article
