Sodium ethyl xanthate °C. It is the conjugate base of the unknown strong acid with p"K" of 1.6 and p"K" estimated as 12.4 for the conjugate base. Sodium ethyl xanthate easily adsorbs on the surface of solid sulfides. Xanthate are susceptible to hydrolysis and oxidation: These reactions require acidic conditions. Sodium ethyl xanthate can be identified through optical absorption peaks in the infrared (1179, 1160, 1115, 1085 cm) and ultraviolet (300 nm) ranges. There are at least six chemical detection methods: Sodium ethyl xanthate can also be quantified using gravimetry, by weighing the lead xanthate residue obtained after reacting SEX with 10% solution
Ethyl acrylate Ethyl acrylate Ethyl acrylate is an organic compound with the formula CHCHCOCHCH. It is the ethyl ester of acrylic acid. It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor. It is mainly produced for paints, textiles, and non-woven fibers. It is also a reagent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates. Ethyl acrylate is produced by acid-catalysed esterification of acrylic acid, which in turn is produced by oxidation of propylene. It may also be prepared from acetylene, carbon monoxide and ethanol by a Reppe reaction. Ethyl acrylate is used in the production of polymers including resins, plastics, rubber, and
