Is It Safe To Mix Ammonia And Acetone

Is it safe to mix hydrogen peroxide and acetone?

woo... you are right to be leary about mixing chemicals, mixing ammonia and bleach is not even quarter (or less) as bad as mixing acetone and hydrogen peroxide. Mixing acetone and hydrogen peroxide will give you acetone peroxide, which is an organic peroxide and a primary high explosive. It's even worse if the concentration of peroxide is high, the reaction will be very vigorous. Save your HANDS!

Is it safe to mix ammonia and hydrogen peroxide ?

NO
ammonia will react with H2o2 to give N2
since N2 is highly stable a lot of energy will be released in the reaction
Hence the reaction will be explosive

Is it safe to mix ammonia and acetone ?

Yes, it is relatively safe to do so.

Ammonia will react with acetone via nucleophilic substitution to produce a primary ketimine (image: http://0.tqn.com/d/chemistry/1/0/t/s/primaryimine.jpg just replace the two R with CH3), which belongs to a class called "imines".

The imine is relatively stable and less reactive compared to the acetone previously. The reason is due to the lower electronegativity of the Nitrogen compared to Oxygen, causing the Nitrogen to polarise the double bond to a lesser extent and hence a weaker dipole moment across an imine than a carbonyl group. The Carbon atom in the double bond is thus less positive and less electrophilic. Therefore, imines require stronger electrophiles or more extreme conditions before reactions can occur.

Will Ammonia and Acetone React with each other in terms of acidity?

Acetone reacting with sodium amide will give the corresponding enolate and ammonia.

CH3C(O)CH3 + NaNH2 --> CH3C(ONa)=CH2 + NH3

Usually, NaH is used for these reactions, as the by-product (hydrogen) is less likely to interfere with subsequent reaction steps than ammonia

What happens when you mix bleach and ammonia?

First of all, you should calm down. Household bleach is typically 91% water, 9% sodium hypochlorite ([math]NaOCl[/math].) Household ammonia is typically 70% water, 30% ammonium hydroxide ([math]NH_4OH[/math].) You are mixing fairly dilute solutions of the two chemicals.The reaction will generate chlorine gas, dichloroamine, trichloroamine, hydrogen chloride, and nitrogen trichloride. If you heated a solution of sodium hypochlorite and ammonia to close to its boiling point, you could make hydrazine ([math]N_2H_4[/math],) not that you would want to.While those chemicals may sound scary, all but one of them are not that bad. Di-and trichloroamine will initially dissolve in water. The same goes for hydrogen chloride (now hydrochloric acid,) and nitrogen trichloride. Hydrazine won’t even be produced provided you don’t boil it.Chlorine gas is not that toxic; you don’t want to inhale high concentrations of the stuff, but it is more of an irritant. You’ll know you have chlorine poisoning well before it kills you (your lungs, throat, and eyes will be burning,) allowing you to seek medical attention. Chlorine is toxic via its interaction with the mucous lining of your lungs. When it interacts with the moisture present, it forms hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is corrosive, leading to chemical burns inside your lungs. These burns secrete a fluid which, if left unchecked, can fill the lungs, causing you to drown in your own bodily fluids. If you can breath without coughing, you probably don’t have chlorine poisoning (don’t quote me, I’m not a doctor.)Additionally, the vapor pressure of chlorine gas is higher than air, thereby causing it to pool in low laying spots, well away from your nose and mouth.This type of incident usually happens when someone cleans a toilet. They start off with an ammonia based cleaner and switch to bleach when the ammonia based cleaner does not produce the desired result. Alternatively, they start with bleach but it is allowed to react with the ammonia contained in urine.The good thing about this happening while cleaning toilets? This:Flush the toilet, open the window, turn on the exhaust fan, and leave the room and shut the door behind you. Provided you didn’t let the reaction run for 20 minutes, there shouldn’t be too much toxic gasses to begin with. Flushing the reactants down the toilet will quickly get them out of your house.

What molecule do you get when you mix Acetone, Hydrogen Peroxide(hair bleach) and HCl?

Do not pursue this question. Do not attempt to reproduce the experiment. The material you and your friend isolated is explosive, terribly unstable, and has no ethical use. It is used by terrorists because of its ease of preparation - but this is why apartment buildings in the near Middle East periodically disappear. (No. I’m not making that up.)

What gas do you get when you mix Ammonia and Vinegar.

Vinegar is acid (Acetic Acid, HC2H3O2).
Ammonia is alkali (NH3 + H2O --> NH4OH).

Such an acid and alkali solution will notdissipatee completely into ions in solution as wouldsulfuricc and hydrochloric acids..

When you react an acid and an alkali together, you get a neutralization reaction which produces water and a salt.
In the case of Ammonia and vinegar, the salt you wouldproducee is Ammonium Acetate (NH4C2H3O2).

Slighth amounts of chlorine gass will be released.

What happens when acetyldehyde and acetone reacts with ammonia?

CH3CHO + NH3 -------> CH3CH(OH)NH2 -----------> H2O + CH3CH=NH (an imine or Schiff base)
Work out acetone for yourself. Exactly the same mechanism.

When happens when acetone and bleach are mixed?

Bleach, if in reasonable concentrations, is useful as an oxidant. This isn't directly related to the question itself, but I want to present another kind of reaction of bleach with organic compounds. In this year's slovak chemistry olympiad we have used commercially sold bleach (about 4.7% NaClO solution in water) to oxidise isoborneol to camphor. This was complete in about half an hour. This was just an example that bleach can be quite useful reagent in organic synthesis.Back to the reaction with acetone. Hypochlorite, which is the main compound in bleach, is quite basic, because it can react with water to form hypochloric acid and hydroxide ions. These can deprotonate acetone to form enolate, which can react as nucleophile with a molecule of hypochloric acid to form chloroacetone. Chloroacetone has more acidic hydrogens so is even more easily deprotonated and reacts to form dichloroacetone, which can react once more. After three substitutions, there is a very good leaving group - trichloromethyl, which can leave and be substituted by hydroxide group. We end up with acetic acid and trichloromethyl anion, which is more basic than acetate and therefore undergoes acid-base equilibrium and deprotonates the acid to form chloroform and acetate. This reaction has the following mechanism:Also, it's just an example of basic chlorination of carbonyl compound at α-position: Ketone halogenation. It's interesting that in acidic medium the reaction doesn't continue after the first substitution.The reaction itself is done in this video: Chloroform and the Haloform ReactionJust a note: I have done it at home in small amounts and it wasn't dangerous at all. But I wouldn't try to do it with a litre of acetone.

What happens when you mix acetone and bleach?

Yes, it is very dangerous and it makes chloroform. Keep in mind that the more common mistake is mixing bleach and ammonia. Most cleaning products are ammonia-based, and mixing them results in chlorine gas. That's the kind of thing you'd need to call the fire department for... it's very serious.
