rlweb Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ether properties? Does anyone know about its endothermic and exothermic reactions? I'm kind of new here. So hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaeroll Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 You need to provide more information. I assume by ether you mean diethyl, but which reactions did you have in mind? I feel a complete rundown of ether reactivity is beyond the scope of this forum. Kaeroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlweb Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well I'm interested in its cooling properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well I'm interested in its cooling properties. What Kaeroll means is that an "ether" is a component in which there exists C-O-C bond. This can therefore be: CH3-O-CH3 CH3-O-CH2-CH3 CH3-O-CH2-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-CH3 etc, etc, etc. Much more complex ethers exist, as you will find on wikipedia! (Scroll down a bit). This is a science forum after all, so this means we should be complete and thorough... this includes using complete and correct names for chemicals. But let me be kind to new people. You most likely want information about the cooling properties of diethyleteher (The CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 ether)... right? So, you are now looking or endothermic or exothermic reactions with diethylether. Perhaps using the right name can help you on google/wikipedia? I'm not sure though. Since your question pretty much includes all reactions with diethyl ether (and there are probably millions!), I suggest that you still refine your question a bit more! Because as Kaeroll said: we just cannot give you a complete summary of all the reactions - there are too many! What do you want to achieve? What is the problem that you need to solve? Personally, I would think that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
