Phenol, C6H5OH, is an acidic organic compound for which K₂ = 1.3 x 10-10. The structure of phenol is a benzene ring with an -OH
replacing a hydrogen atom on one of its six carbon atoms. Because phenol has this -OH group, you might think that the -OH would
ionize and make phenol a base. Actually, the O-H bond is very weak and phenol acts as an acid by ionizing the H* ion. What is the pH
of a 0.47 M solution of phenol in water?
pH=ễ

- Disulfides are compounds that have S¬ S bonds, like peroxides have O¬ O bonds. Thiols are organic compounds that have the general formula R¬ SH, where R is a generic hydrocarbon. The SH- ion is the sulfur counterpart of hydroxide, OH-. Two thiols can react to make a disulfide, R¬ S¬ S¬ R. If you wanted to convert a disulfide to two thiols, should you add a reducing agent or oxidizing agent to the solution?arrow_forwardThe amount of tartaric acid is responsible for the tartness of wine and controls the acidity of the wine. Tartaric acid also plays a very significant role in the overall taste, feel and color of a wine. Tartaric acid is a diprotic organic acid The chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4H6O6 and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H. A 50.00 mL sample of a white dinner wine required 21.48 mL of 0.03776 M NaOH to achieve a faint pink color. Express the acidity of the wine in terms of grams of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6 (M. M. = 150.10) per 100 mL of wine. Assume that the two acidic hydrogens are titrated at the end point.
