The Carbylamine reaction, also known as the isocyanide test or Hofmann’s isocyanide test, is a chemical test used to detect the presence of primary amines in a given compound. The test was discovered by August Wilhelm von Hofmann in 1861 and is based on the reaction of primary amines with chloroform and a strong base,…
HCN stands for Hydrogen Cyanide, which is a colorless, highly poisonous gas that has a faint, bitter almond odor. It is used in a variety of industrial processes, including the production of synthetic fibers, plastics, and dyes. HCN is also found in nature, being produced by certain plants and some bacteria. HCN is a deadly…
Equivalent conductivity and molar conductivity are both measures of the ability of an electrolyte solution to conduct electricity. Equivalent conductivity is the conductivity of a solution containing one equivalent of the electrolyte, which is the amount of the electrolyte that carries one mole of positive or negative charge. It is usually denoted by the symbol…
