What are Levelling and differentiating solvents?
Leveling solvent or leveling effect is the effect of solvent on the properties of acids and bases while differentiating solvents are chemical solvents that cause various acids to dissociate to different degrees.
Which is a Protogenic or acidic solvent?
Examples of protophilic solvents are ammonia and pyridine. Protogenic Solvents – these solvents have a more acidic character and tend to have a levelling effect on the bases they come in contact with. Examples of protogenic solvents used in non-aqueous titration are sulphuric acid and acetic acid.
What are Amphiprotic solvents?
a solvent capable of acting as an acid or a base; for example, H2O. See also: solvolysis.
What is Protophilic?
Adjective. protophilic (comparative more protophilic, superlative most protophilic) (chemistry) Describing a solvent that can accept protons, and is therefore basic.
What is Protogenic or Protophilic?
Protogenic means the ability to generate protons (H+). Protophilic means the ability to accept protons (H+). Hence examples of protogenic solvents are acetic acid, H2SO4 etc. and examples of protophilic solvents are ammonia, pyridine etc. Water, alcohol, bisulfate ion, bicarbonate ion, amino acids etc.
What is Protogenic and Protophilic?
(i) Protophilic solvents: Solvents which have greater tendency to accept protons, i.e., water, alcohol, liquid ammonia, etc. (ii) Protogenic solvents: Solvents which have the tendency to produce protons, i.e., water, liquid hydrogen chloride, glacial acetic acid, etc.
Is water a Protophilic solvent?
Water is a Amphiprotic solvent as it can accept protons as well as give protons. Explain with example: Aprotic, amphiprotic, protophilic and protogenic solutions.
What is the meaning of Protogenic solvent?
What is a Protogenic Solvent? Capable of acting as a proton (hydron) donor strongly or weakly acidic (as a Brønsted acid). The term is preferred to the synonym “protic” or the more ambiguous expression “acidic” by itself. Also called HBD (hydrogen bond donor) solvent.
What is Protogenic?
protogenic (not comparable) Of or pertaining to an early or original race or lineage; primitive. (geology) Relating to crystalline or fire-formed rocks.
