What would be the carboxilic acid, keton or aldehyd involved?

I'm not sure but:
Maybe that the HN3 will attack the acetic moeity of the ethyl acetate...
CH3-CH2-O2C-CH3 + HN3 --?--> CH3-CH2OH + N3-CO-CH3
If this happens, then this would preclude the use or ethyl acetate for all 3 cases.
Maybe that the carbo acid will induce transesterification with the acetate...
R-CO2H + CH3-CH2-O2C-CH3 <====> CH3-CH2-O2C-R + CH3-CO2H
If this happens, then this would preclude the use of an acid with ethyl acetate...but would be no problem for the keton or aldehyd
The related alternative Schmid reaction with N2H4 and carbo-acid would be a no go since acethydrazide (CH3-CO-NH-NH2) would be formed aside with
ethanol.
CH3-CO-NH-NH2 + HONO --> CH3-CO-N3 + 2 H2O

You can post it in Organic Chemistry, and if it is well-written and repeatable, it can stay there. If it has considerable flaws I will move it to
Beginnings so that people can give you advice for your future write-ups. Either way, please do post it.

I was cleaning my sintered funnel with a bit of piranha solution. After I thought that the hydrogen peroxide in the solution had decomposed, I rinsed
it thoroughly with acetone. Now there is a small amount of white solid at the bottom of the flask that I fear may be acetone peroxide. If it is, what
is a safe and proper way to get it out of the flask and dispose of it?

From the sciencemadness wiki:
" Acetone peroxide can be rendered relatively benign by dissolving it in toluene. Even if the solution is saturated, there is almost no risk of
detonation. "

What are ground glass reagent bottles good for? They don't seem airtight unless sealed with vacuum grease, and I don't want vacuum grease in my
products... can they actually be used for long term storage of reagents?

Simply add more aceton and it will redissolve then trow into the toilet and flush...
Or simply collect when moist (I think there can't be much more than a few mg) so no risk of injury and put into a some toilet paper then light with a
lighter...it will burn without explosion and make a tiny flash.

Without grease, parafin oïl, candle wax or silicon oil...it is not 100% airtight and so any volatile, oxygen sensitive compounds are storable only
for a limited amount of time (like wiskey carafe --> one year).
If you use the correct grease/viscous paraffin wax...it is unreactive and will remain onto the rough ground glass...then it can store for example
concentrated HNO3...then use with care a pipette into the center to take the liquid without touching the sides of the bottle mouth to avoid
contamination with the grease...some flasks do have the pipette integrated into the glass roded cap...
If your product is non volatile, non hygroscopic and non sensitive to air (O2, NH3 or CO2, volatile acids)...then it is OK without grease/wax

often the vapours of stored liquids condense into the ground glass joint, sealing it somewhat.
one of my school chemistry memories is how during summer,
bottles of reagents with ground glass joints would 'vent' excess pressure occasionally by pushing up the stopper a little, releasing a puff of vapour.
I would not store ammonia solution, or conc. acids, especially HCl, in this way
as my chem. lab is also my 'workshop' and electronics lab,
and I value my tools and equipment

I want to use my oxy acetylene torch but running hydrogen instead of acetylene.
Is this completely unsafe? If anyone has direct experience with trying this what 'observations' would you remark on?

I do not have any direct experience. However from memory the flame velocity of a hydrogen oxygen mixture is higher than oxygen acetylene mixture.
That means flash back in a premixed torch is more likely but that can be corrected easily by increasing the gas flow or by using a nozzle with a
smaller hole.
For safety you should be operating the torch with flashback arrestors in the gas lines, which may not work correctly for the higher flame velocity of
hydrogen.

Ok great, I have flame arresters directly off the regulators on the bottles but there's about 10metres of hose after that, hydrogen cannot burn with
an oxidant so at worst my torch might strike back.
Also I forgot to ask hydrogen oxygen mixtures burn at almost all proportions/ratio's (3-95% from memory) however what about detonation, do hydrogen
oxygen mixtures detonate and is there a safe working pressure where the mixture will only burn not detonate. Converse from some people I don t want a
detonation.

Yes Hydrogen does not burn with out oxygen. However if for some reason one of the gases flows down the supply pipe of the other gas the flash back
arrester will stop the gas flow and or stop a flame. Its particularly need when using an acetylene bottle because the oxygen can be at a much higher
pressure than the acetylene.
Detonation: Most if not all fuel oxygen mixtures with the correct stoichiometry can detonate if ignited. Acetylene can even detonate in the absence
of oxygen.
Assuming your torch is a regular oxy/acetylene torch it is the flow velocity thru the nozzle that must be higher than the flame velocity to prevent
the flame travelling back in to the torch nozzle and possibly detonating in it. But that mixed gas volume in the torch is small and the torch is
designed to withstand the occasional blowback . Hydrogen is less powerful than acetylene.
So NO there is not a hydrogen pressure to prevent blowback as it depends on both the hydrogen and oxygen pressure and the nozzle hole size ie flow
velocity
i
The normal procedure is to light the torch with only the fuel on. Then adjust oxygen for the required flame. That will be near to stoichiometric and
near to the fastest flame velocity. So you use a nozzle with an outlet diameter such that the gas flow is greater than the flame velocity or the flame
will blow back into the torch. Too higher velocity and the flame will blow out.

Confused about distillation
I'm adapting a synth of ethyl acetoacetate from here. In the workup I am very confused about the distillations.
| Quote: |
The liquid divides into two layers the upper one, consisting of acetoacetic ester and unchanged ethyl acetate, is carefully separated and distilled
collecting fraction passing at 100° C. The distillate is redistilled and collected in fractions, that distilling at 175-185° C is nearly pure
acetoacetic ester.
|
The boiling point of ethyl acetoacetate is more than 100 degrees higher than ethyl acetate, so I wouldn't think very much would come over at 100 C. Am
I missing something? Why would most of the product come over at 100 C in the first distillation, but then in the second one come over between 175 and
185 C?
Any answer is appreciated.

Maybe the ethyl acetoacetate is being co-distilled with the ethyl acetate at the lower temperature and then fractionally distilled further from the
resulting distillate? If there's a lot of unreacted ethyl acetate then that would explain why they're expecting a lot to come over at 100 C

I want to remove a large amount of water from a solution, using calcium chloride, however I dont know what hydratate will form.
If I cool the solution to below 30C, hexahydratate should form? (Hexahydratate decomposes at 30C)
How long will it take? Is it something fast or slow?

If you have a large amount of water, you'll form saturated calcium chloride solution. It forms quickly, and you should be able to decant the organic
layer. Sodium sulphate and other ionic drying agents will act similarly.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

Thanks, it doesnt work for what I wanted it for, but I learned something
I wanted to concentrate H2O2, and I saw somewhere that you could do it with drying agents like CaCl2, however if it separates completelly, I dont want
it as I stay away from explosives, and if it doesnt separate at all, it doesnt work either.

KMnO4 solubility

25 g/100ml at 65°C, 32 g/100 ml at 75°C. That's pretty much highest temperatures which allow more or less accurate measurement of KMnO4 solubility,
at higher temperatures it quickly decomposes, thus leading to huge errors in measurement.
