Hi guys,
As we all know, in the Volhard's test, nitrobenzene and nitric acid are added.
the purpose for nitrobenzene is to coagulate the precipitate.
Anybody knows the mechanism behind it? And also, what the reason for adding nitric acid?
Hi guys,
As we all know most aqua regia are made from 3 parts HCl and 1 part HNO3.
Any ideas what happens when we change the composition around to like
1 part HCl to 1 part HNO3
or
1 part HCL to 3 parts HNO3?
For what I know the purpose is to make the strong oxidising OCl-
My primary guess will be that a less potent aqua regia will result from the change in composition (lesser Cl- ions)
Any comments? Please correct me if I'm wrong , thanks
