Question

Chemical Reaction of resorchinol with zinc

Answer 1

Answer:

The use of the zinc-ion-catalyzed autoxidation or hydrogen peroxide oxidation of resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxybenzene) to determine zinc concentration has been examined. The nature of the reaction products involved, the conditions of reagent concentration, pH, and reaction time have been specified. The procedure will yield results with a relative average deviation of 10% over the concentration range of 0.9 ppm to approximately 8 ppm. It is an inexpensive and convenient reagent and procedure.
