HYDRIODIC ACID

~ also known as Hydroiodic acid; 10034-85-2; Iodane; hydrogen iodide; Hydriotic acid; etc. is the second strongest hydrohalic acid, following hydroastatic acid. Hydriodic acid is a generally used chemical reagent. It is one of the strong acids that ionize totally in an aqueous solution.

Chemical structure: The chemical formula of hydroiodic acid is HI. It has a molar mass of 127.91 g/mol. the gaseous form is Hydrogen iodide, while hydroiodic acid is the aqueous form of HI. They can both be interchanged. The structure of HI, which is a simple diatomic molecule, is given below:

Properties: Hydrogen iodide is a colorless gas. It has a pungent smell that is soluble in water to give hydroiodic acid. Concentrated hydroiodic acid is generally 48 to 57% HI in water...

CALCIUM CARBONATE

~ also known as Limestone; 471-34-1; Chalk; Calcite; Carbonic acid calcium salt (1:1); etc. is the carbonic salt of calcium. It is a common substance which can be found in rocks and is the main constituent of pearls and the shells of snails, marine organisms, and eggs. The global market for Calcium Carbonate is estimated to reach 98.7 million tons by 2020, due to the robust demand from paper and plastics end-use sectors.

Chemical structure: CaCO₃ or CCaO₃. The thermodynamically stable form of CaCO₃ under standard conditions is hexagonal β-CaCO₃, (the mineral calcite). There are other less stable forms, they include; orthorhombic λ-CaCO₃ (mineral aragonite) and μ-CaCO₃ (mineral vaterite).

Properties: calcium carbonate is a white, colorless crystal or odorless powder...

METHYL ACETATE

~ also known as Tereton; 79-20-9; Devoton; Acetic acid methyl ester; Methyl ethanoate; etc. belongs to the family of Carboxylic Acid Esters. The global market for methyl acetate and other exempt solvents was valued at over USD 1.54 billion in 2016. It is expected to reach USD 2.42 billion in 2022 and grow at a CAGR of slightly above 3.0% between 2017 and 2022.

Chemical structure: C₃H₆O₂ or CH₃COOCH₃. It is a carboxylate ester whose formula can also be written as MeOAc.

Properties: Methyl acetate is a non-polar (lipophilic) to weakly polar (hydrophilic) aprotic solvent. Methyl acetate has a solubility of 25% in water at room temperature. At elevated temperature, its solubility in water is much higher...

~ also known as Phenylmethanol; Benzoyl alcohol; Benzenemethanol; 100-51-6; Phenylcarbinol; etc. is produced naturally by many plants and is commonly found in fruits and teas. It is also found in a variety of essential oils including jasmine, hyacinth, ylang-ylang, and in castoreum from the castor sacs of beavers. Due to increasing demand from end-use industries, the global Benzyl Alcohol Market is expected to reach US$282.3 million by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2017 – 2025.

Chemical structure: Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with the formula C₇H₈O or C₆H₅CH₂OH. The benzyl group is often abbreviated “Bn”, thus benzyl alcohol is denoted as BnOH.

Properties: Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor...
