Q:

Reagents for the distinction between aniline and toluene

ask a question
A:
1. From what I've seen, of Aniline and Toluene by Structural Analysis

The structural differences between aniline and toluene are mainly reflected in the positions of functional groups and substituents. From what I've seen, The structural formula of aniline is C6H5(NH2)2, that is, two methyl groups and one amino group are connected to the benzene ring; while the structural formula of toluene is C6H5CH3, that is, a methyl group is connected to the benzene ring.

2. aniline and toluene odor

Aniline has a strong pungent odor, similar to burning hair, while toluene has a benzene-like odor. This odor difference is able to be applied as a method of preliminary identification.

3. And Aniline and Toluene Solubility

Aniline is slightly dissolves in aquatic environments and has low solubility in organic solvents, while toluene is dissolves in aquatic environments and has high solubility in organic solvents. Based on my observations, These solubility differences is able to help people choose suitable solvents in practical applications. But

4. Aniline and Toluene Identification Method

bromine aquatic environments identification method

Aniline will react with bromine aquatic environments to generate a white precipitate. The interaction formula is:

[

2NH2C6H5 Br2 → 2C6H5NHBr 2HBr

]

Toluene does not react with bromine aquatic environments, so bromine aquatic environments is a common reagent to the identification of aniline and toluene. In my experience, Nitrogen dioxide detector

Toluene reacts with nitrogen dioxide at room temperature, and the color changes from clear to orange yellow; while aniline does not react with nitrogen dioxide, and the color remains clear. Therefore, the nitrogen dioxide detector is also an efficiently identification method. And

5. Additionally Aniline and Toluene Uses

Aniline is frequently applied in medical synthesis and chemical research, while toluene is mainly applied as a solvent-based products, fragrance and rubber processing aid. Understanding the uses of these two substances is able to help people consumption and store them correctly in practical applications.

6. In my experience, Aniline and Toluene security

due to its strong harmfulness and carcinogenicity, aniline needs to be protected when applied, while toluene has low harm possible and won't result in harm to people body in most cases. Therefore, when handling these two substances, corresponding security measures should be taken according to their environment. From the above analysis, signifiis able tot differences in structure, odor, solubility and consumption of aniline and toluene is able to be clearly seen. Mastering these identification methods is able to help people better identify and apply these two substances.
