Why is it necessary to add anhydrous magnesium sulphate to the alcohol and ether during the sodium test?

Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is a drying agent which removes water molecules which might cause contamination to the product. The high attraction for water molecules was due to the charged Mg2+ and SO42- ions. [2]

Is anhydrous isopropanol the same thing as isopropanol?
Yes, both isopropanol and anhydrous isopropanol are forms of rubbing alcohol.
What happens if you mix alcohol and magnesium?
If mixed, Ethanol and Magnesium will react and form Hydrogen gas and Magnesium Ethoxide. 2 CH3CH2OH(liq) + Mg(s) -> (CH3CH2O)2Mg(s) + H2(g)
Is concentrated hydrochloric acid a suitable acid for alcohol dehydration?
No. Even concentrated hydrochloric acid contains much water. Concentrated sulfuric acid, which can be completely anhydrous, is much more effective as dehydrating agent.
Why is it necessary to wash the crude cyclohexene product with aqueous sodium carbonate?
The crude product is contaminated with water, unreacted alcohol
Can C3H6O be a secondary alcohol?
Methanol is a primary alcohol. You can't have a secondary alcohol until you get to propanol, where 1-propanol is a primary alcohol and 2-propanol is a secondary alcohol (also called sec-propyl alchohol or isopropanol). Secondary alcohols are alcohols where the -OH group is attached to a carbon that has two carbon groups attached to it. The first tertiary alcohol is t-butyl alcohol, otherwise known as 2-methyl-2-propanol. In that molecule the -OH group is attached to a carbon that has three carbon groups attached to it.
Is anhydrous isopropanol the same thing as isopropanol?
Yes, both isopropanol and anhydrous isopropanol are forms of rubbing alcohol.
How do you ensure that the final alcohol bath is free of water?
By using anhydrous alcohol in a vacuum flask.
What alcohol drink contains the least amount of sulphate If you have to avoid sulphate what alcoholic drink could i order at a pub?

Why alcohol used in the limit test for sulphate?
Alcohol helps to prevent super saturation.
Why is barium chloride and alcohol used in the limit test for sulphates?
barium chloride reacts with a sulphate to produce barium sulphate which can be seen as a white precipitate and therefor identified.
Does rubbing alcohol absorb water?
Yes, alcohol does absorb water from the air, it's very hygroscopic - anhydrous copper suphate (for example) may be used to remove water from it.
Is talcum powder a solute?
Synthetic magnesium silicates are insoluble in water or alcohol.
What happens if you mix alcohol and magnesium?
If mixed, Ethanol and Magnesium will react and form Hydrogen gas and Magnesium Ethoxide. 2 CH3CH2OH(liq) + Mg(s) -> (CH3CH2O)2Mg(s) + H2(g)
What is acetylenic alcohol?
This is when acetylene reacted with one of the magnesium bromide. For instance, acteylene reacted with methyl magnesium bromide forming 3-hexa-1-eyne.
What percent of alcohol do the human body needs?
You don't need alcohol at all. It's not necessary.
Why you use alcohol in preparation of tetraamine copper sulphate monohydrate?
we use alcohol in its preparation to decrease solubility of ammonia in water so that it will react with copper to form complex and decrease solubility of complex will crystallize it out.
Can you drink wine a day after drinking citrate magnesium?
I know that when I take Magnesium Citrate, I can't get out of the bathroom long enough to go mix myself a drink. But, all joking aside, since Magnesium Citrate essentially cleans out your intestines, it would be inadvisable to drink alcohol, because you won't have any food on your stomach to buffer the alcohol.
